A-S-R PRODUCTS COJIPANY. Acquired in llay
1960, A-S-R Products division is expected to benefit
from the resources of the parent company.
In advertising, A-S-R will be able to utilize the
greater efficiency of Philip Morris' extensive media
franchises. This also permits A-S-R to advertise with
~Yreater flexibility of timing and weight.
The merehandisin; and marketin~ skills of Philip
JIorris have already proved useful to A-S-R. While
separate sales staffs are maintained, the marketing
experience of the parent company has been made
available to the division.
A-S-R has also availed itself of Philip Morris'
research, engineering and new product development
facilities. This division has, since the acquisition,
teamed its own personnel with those of the parent
company to explore areas of product improvement
and new product development. All this is aimed at
creating products of superior quality and demonstrable
consumer advantabes.

VENEZUELA: C. A. Tabacalera Nacional, in which Philip Morris has
a controlling interest, makes Marlboro, Alpine. Parliament and

I'IIII,II' .l/Uh'h'IA'~; OI"l;li'Sl;'_(S The
complexities of the world situation, the emer;~int,
of common economic associations and the rise of
nationalism throughout the world created new problems
-and new opportunities-for the Overseas Division in
1960. Combining all phases of its operation including
export sales and sales by subsidiaries and licensees,
the Overseas Division in 1960 enjoyed its best year
to date. The total net income produced topped all
previous records.
The gains in the past y ear are due to the continued
expansion in overseas markets. In 1960, foreign
subsidiary financial results were consolidated with
those of the parent company as described in the
financial section of this Annual Report.
Among Philip Morris Overseas world-wide activities :
In Venezuela, when the ;overnment restricted the
import of U. S. made cigarettes, C. A. Tabacalera
Nacional, a company in which Philip Morris has
a controllin- interest, was able rapidly to expand
manufacture locally of Philip lIorris brands. Thus,
the loss of substantially well-established export sales
formerly shipped from the United States was offset.
In addition, C. A. Tabacalera -Nacional also
manufactures and markets local brands.
In Germany, where because of high import duties
export sales were negligible, Philip lIorris Overseas
licensed Brinkmann, G.m.b.H. to manufacture and sell
11larlboro. This has proceeded most encouragingly.
In Canada, construction is well alono, on a new,
modern cijarette plant near Toronto. From this plant,

President Joseph F. Cullman, 3rd, discusses the purchase and blend of quality tobaccos used in the
Company's new Philip Morris Commander
during his Fall tour of Kentucky auction markets. From left to right, Edwin W. Humphreys, President
of Southwestern Tobacco; Mr. Cullman;
J. Pinckney Harrison, Chairman of the Board of Universal Leaf Tobacco Co.; and Wirt H. Hatcher,
Senior Vice President of Philip Morris.
By direetin, major mana~e-
ment attention to the continuation of basic engineering
and machinery development programs, "cost of prod-
uct" Naas held at previous year's levels relative to sales.
Increased efficiency offset the higher costs of leaf
tobacco, materials, labor costs per hour, and related
improvements in frin;e benefits.
The _1Ianufacturing Department was charged with
developinlp- a king size, non-filter cigarette, to be so
en,ineered as to set a new high quality standard in
cigarette manufacturing. The cigarette was destined
to become Philip Morris Commander. To accomplish
this, a radical departure in cigarette manufacturing
technolo~,y Nvas employed. In cooperation with the
1Iolins Machine Company, the delivery of DIolins Mark
VIII Makers was expedited. These new and unique
machines are the most revolutionary development in
cigarette manufacture in t«-enty-five years.
In the past, the industry's making machines
depended upon gravity to drop the tobacco onto a
movin, belt. The continuous vacuum action of the
Mark VIII holds the tobacco in shape. This air jet
delivery is continuously controlled electronically with
utmost precision. The end result is a cigarette with
uniform texture, firm, well-packed ends, and a solid
feel. Independent tests prove Commander the most
evenly packed cigarette of its type on the market.
Successful meeting of the good sales demand for
Philip Morris Commander attests to the skill of the
operating personnel in adapting themselves quickly
to the most modern manufacturing methods, thus
rontinuin~_- to ;ive the CompanY a competitive edge
iu 1>rodnct quality.
!, f', . 1F Despite a larger 1960 crop of Bright flue
cured leaf, an active demand existed durin,r the entire
buying season and the average price of the crop was
somewhat higher than in 1959 due chiefly to the higher
prices paid for certain grades. The market was also
affected by unusually active forei;n buying.
Overall quality was slightly better; there were fewer
undesirable hybrid types produced. The Company
purchased considerably more Bright leaf than in 1959,
replenishing inventories to normal.
A summary of daily analyses of each grade made by
our Research Center confirmed the judgment of the
Company's buyers that the Bright leaf we purchased
was unusually ripe, mild and flavorful, and will assure
a continuance of the high standards established for the
Company's eigarettes.
While Burley leaf encountered bad weather at
planting time, growing conditions improved during
later critical periods and acceptable quality for the
most part was produced, with slightly fewer pounds
than in 1959. The average market price was higher.
The Company's increasing requirements necessitated
appreciably larger purchases to bring leaf inventory to
the proper level to insure the use of only fully aged
tobacco.
Very satisfactory purchases of Turkish-type leaf
were made in 1960, in terms of both quality and price.

position in this larye market.
Reco(ynizinc, the -rowin; importance of our wholly
owned and majority owned foreign subsidiaries, we
adopted a policy in 1960 of consolidatin~ the results
of these subsidiaries into our overall financial results.
Sales and profits of wholly owned subsidiaries and our
equity in profits of our majority owned foreign
subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
In April, the stockholders approved the acquisition
of the assets of A-S-R Products Corporation for about
363,000 shares of Philip Morris Common Stock. We
referred to this acquisition as a possibility in last
year's Annual Report and later described the affairs
of this corporation in a detailed proxy statement
sent to all stockholders. ASR is a major producer of
razors and blades in the United States and England
under the trademarks Gem, Pal, Personna and
Fver-Ready. We have been coneentratinn, first on
improving the A-S-R line of products with major
emphasis on research, product development and new
products. During the year, we disposed of two small
California operations of ASR, Com Air and
L".S. Relay, which did not fit our objectives for A-SR.
We are optimistic about the future for A-S-R and
the opportunities for enlarging the A-S-R business,
especially in the razor and blade fields.
1960 was not a good year for Milprint, Inc., our
flexible packagin,- subsidiary with headquarters in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Although sales volume was
down only moderately, profit margins continued to
reflect the hi~--hly competitive nature of the packaging
industry ~,enerally, in which production capacity
presently eteeecls demand. During the year, we placed
in full operatin_g commission our new ;lassine and
sulphite paper mill at Nicolet, a llilprint subsidiary.
This new mill will add importantly to the Nicolet
output and is already contributing to Nicolet's
profits. _lIajor organizational chan~es at lIilprint were
effected during the year. Plant facilities on the East
Coast were consolidated at Downingtown, Pa., and on
the West Coast at South San Francisco, when a major
addition to our plant there was completed.
Since its acquisition in 1957, we have effected
important changes in the organization, method of
operation and facilities of Milprint. Under more
favorable conditions in the national economy and the
packaging industry, these changes should produce
improved sales and profits for Milprint.
Polymer Industries, Inc., our small chemical and
adhesives subsidiary, completed the construction of
new polymerization and solvent plants. Sales and
profit trends at Polymer were favorable as our new
facilities reached expected levels of productivity and
efficiency.
We were particularly pleased by the contribution
made by our expanded research activities now housed
in our new Research Center at Richmond, Va. This
fine facility is attracting a high caliber of personnel
interested in scientific research and is providing them
with the most modern equipment available. Important
contributions to our complete product line, including
those of AS-R, are being made by our Research
Department.
As for the future, we are optimistic for reasons we
believe to be sound : the ~reater than averaae increase
in the growth of the world's population in the 21 to
35 age group, which smokes more cigarettes than any
other a;e category; the continuing rise in the number
of women smokers; and the strong overseas demand
for American-type ciaarettes, coupled with the fact
that in less mature economies abroad, consumption of
cigarettes is browin; at a far faster rate than in the
United States.
Philip Morris has emerged from the industry's
period of change in a strong position, competitively
represented in every smoking eategory by a well
designed and well packaged cigarette. The quality
traditionally associated with your Company has never
been hi~her.
I would like to extend mana;ement's appreciation
to the men and women of Philip Morris. Their eneraies,
their talents and loyalty have made your Company's
year a successful one.

The year 1960 was one of continued pro,ress for
Philip Morris.
Net sales of $506,412,000 were 1.6 per cent greater
than the $498,456,000 for 1959. Net income of
$20,984,000 compared with $19,590,000 for 1959, an
increase of 7.1 per cent. On a per common share basis,
net income was $5.44, up from $5.08 last y ear. Unit
cigurette volume and dollar sales set a new Company
record, and sales and earnings increased for the
seventh consecutive year.
Dividends of $3.60 per share were paid on the
Common Stock, $4.00 on the 4% Cumulative Preferred
and $3.90 on the 3.90% Cumulative Preferred
Stock. Payment on the common shares-up from
$3.00 in 1959-represented the 33rd consecutive year
of payment on Philip Morris Common Stock.
Ci,,urette sales continued to improve. They were
the most important factor in the successful year
experienced in 1960. In the late summer of 1960, this
Company introduced Philip Morris Commander in
the S5mm full kin(,r size field. Commander was the
first ci:;arette to offer the American smoker the hioh
standard of uniformity, firm ends, fullness of packing
and "vacuum cleanino," of tobacco supplied by
the new Mark VIII ci-arette makino, machine. This
revolutionary new machine makes a noticeably better
ci~l-arette and is the first major advance in cigarette
making technique in many years. The public's response
to the new Philip _lIorris Commander has been most
(Yratifying. Sales of this product were up sharply
over Philip Morris Longs, and by year-end the long
decline in the Philip Morris brand had been
reversed and an upward trend was developing.
All our filter brands showed strength, especially
Marlboro, now popular in both the flip-top box and the
king size soft paek, which was running about 10 fo
ahead of the 1959 sales rate throughout the last
quarter of 1960. Recessed filter Parliament continued
to show strength, especially in the king size soft
pack. Our Alpine brand, combining fresh filtration,
li,rht menthol and fine tobaccos further established
itself in this ~rowin; cateaory. A dignified new desian
was developed for our Benson & Hedges packet and
introduced in the summer of 1960. Sales of this hi;h
quality product, which is America's laraest selling
premium priced, premium quality ci;arette, reacted
well to our promotion and to the new packet as
volume increased over the previous year.
Philip 1lorris Overseas enjoyed another year of
sales growth, market development and expansion.
During the year, the exportation of American made
ci-arettes to Venezuela came to a halt due to that
~overnment's policy and, accordin~ to plan, we began
manufacture there of Philip Morris, Marlboro, Alpine
and Parliament cigarettes in our subsidiary, C. A.
Tabacalera Nacional. The reception of these brands
manufactured in Venezuela has been favorable, and
we have been successful in maintaining our important
position in this market. We also make and sell in
Venezuela brands employing only tobacco ~rown in
Venezuela. At the year's end exchange controls were
in effect in Venezuela, but dollars were being received
by us for tobacco and materials shipped from the
United States. A conservative accounting approach to

adopted until the exchange situation in Venezuela
becomes clearer.
During the year, Philip Morris Overseas improved
its position on the European continent, especially in
West Germany, where 11Iarlboro was successfully
introduced under a manufacturin- ayreement with the
Brinkmann Company. Our Overseas Division also
improved its position in France, Italy, Spain and
Sweden where Philip Morris and Marlboro are
leading American made brands, and in Switzerland,
where Marlboro has aa leading position. In Canada
we broke ground in Brampton, outside of Toronto, for
a new ultra-modern cigarette factory for our wholly
owned subsidiary, Benson & Hedges (Canada) Ltd. In
England, we moved into new and enlarged facilities.
Philip Morris (Australia) Ltd. had a good year
notwithstanding competition for the first time from
American made cigarettes imported into Australia.
Profits were about $500,000 with sales of both Philip
Morris and Marlboro showina encoura~inb trends
at the year's end. In the Philippines, Philip Morris
made important progress, and the 1l'Iarlboro brand was
successfully introduced.
In Latin America, Philip 11lorris brands have
been traditionally strong and, during 1960, enjoyed
fine sales in a number of good neighbor nations
to the south. We hope and plan to expand our

AUSTRALIA: Sales and profits increased again during 1950 for
Philip Morris (Australia) Ltd. Marlboro and Philip Morris are made
by this subsidiary, as well as Revelation, a local filter brand.
completely equipped with the world's latest cigarette
manufaeturing equipment, Benson & Hedges (Canada)
Ltd. will enter thc Canadian cigarette market. This
subsidiary's ei<,ar operations, located in Montreal,
showed moderate pro~-gress in 1960.
In England, Philip Morris & Co., Ltd. moved into
new, larger facilities and reinforced its management
with avie«- to expanding their efforts in that area.
Philip Morris (Australia) Ltd., has made encouraging
penetration of the Australian market.
The Swiss licensee, Fabriques de Tabac Reunies,
S. A., reports that Marlboro is the leading seller in its
cate(yory. The P1lilippines licensee has enjoyed sales so
favorable that production has been restricted to meet
the limited availability of American-grown leaf.
In man' v areas of the world-Europe, Middle East,
Africa, the Far East- and South America-demand for
Philip Morris products often exceeds the ability to
meet requirements because of local import or currency
restrictions.
Many of the above and similar activities reflect the
Company's approach to expansion overseas. Through
investment, licensing or similar arrangements on
export sales, Philip Morris has flexibility to secure
true international development of business.
To further the Company's world-wide marketing
operations, Executive Vice President George Weissman,
formerlv in charge of marketing, has been appointed
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of Philip Morris Overseas.
ENGLAND: Philip Morris & Co., Ltd. moved into a new plant in
London during the year and also reinforced its management.
Marlboro, Alpine, Philip Morris are made by the English subsidiary.
CANADA: Top, architect's rendering of the new plant near Toronto

For the seventh consecutive year
llie Comhany r(,ported increases in both sales and eai"n-
im,s. Consolidated net sales in 1960 were up 1.6cl'(, over
t959 to a record high of $506,412,000 and consolidated
net earnin,>s were $20,984,000, or 7.11/~o over 1959. It
was pleasing to note the improved profit marain repre-
,ented by this percentage gain in net earnings in spite
of the relatively unfavorable sho«-in~ of non-tobacco
subsidiaries and divisions. Consolidated net earnings,
after provision for dividends on the preferred stock,
amounted to $5.44 per share compared to $5.08 in
1959, as restated to include the AS-R Products
division and forei~,n subsidiaries. Thus the Company
comfortably covered its dividend of $3.60 per common
share, an annual level to which it was raised by the
Board of I)irectors beainnina with the January 1960
quarterl,r payment. The Company retained $6,888,000
of net earnim,5, «-hieh with depreciation of $5,362,000
more than paid for 1960 capital outlays of $7,300,000.
For the first time, Philip JIorris has this year
included fore ign tobacco subsidiary figures in the
financial statements. The Principles of Consolidation
are set forth in the notes to the audited statements;
broadly speaking, the Company has consolidated in
full all its n-holly owned foreign subsidiaries, and has
included in the financial statements the net earnings of
forei(,n subsidiaries not wholly owned only to the
extent of its interest in them, and after related income
taxes.
In accordance Nrith the public announcement of
October 26, 1960, the Company has been acquiring its
('ommon Stock in the open marl:et, and at year-end
held a modest amount as reflected in notes to the
financial statements in this Annual Report. As was
announced, this stock, and additional shares which
may be thus acquired, are to be available for possible
use in connection with future acquisitions, stock option
p1ans and other corporate purposes.

With two members of ASR management on the
Philip Morris Board of Directors, and with ASR
management unchanged, conditions are appropriate
for fullest exploitation of the opportunities foreseen
in the acquisition.
.IIILPRIN1', INC. In August, former President Arthur
Snapper became Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of Milprint, the Company's flexible
packaging subsidiary. Fred M. Stefan was elected
President. His background and experience are ideally
suited to the planned progress and expansion of this
subsidiary.
AIilprint's South San Francisco plant added more
than 57,000 square feet to its existing plant and all
West Coast operations were consolidated at that site.
At DePere, Wisconsin, Milprint subsidiary -Nicolet
Paper Corporation completed a plant expansion to
accommodate a new paper making machine. The added
producing capacity, coupled with the finest available
tinishing equipment, makes it possible for Nicolet to
market many additional types of specialty papers.
Throughout the year, Alilprint gained greater
flexibility in its operations. The industry of which
it is a part is fast changing; favored packaging
materials and their combinations change as quickly
as new processes and new products are developed.
Jlilprint is committed to no one packaging material.
Its versatility and ability to offer combinations of
packaging best suited to the customer's needs is an
advantage to Milprint's customers and a sound basis
for this subsidiary's operations.
POLYMER INDUSTRIES, INC. Polymer completed
new solvent adhesives and polymerization plants at
Springdale, Connecticut, in September. The latter
facility now produces a substantial share of Polymer's
own requirements for standard polymers at costs which
should favorably affect profits.
As a further result of adding polymer capacity,
this subsidiary in 1961 will broaden its market base
through the sale of synthetic resins, and will expand
its sales as a formulating chemical company.
Sales of chemical additives for textiles-a vital part
of Polymer's business-were ahead of the previous
year.
The world's largest supercalender for making glassine complements
new paper machine in Nicolet Paper Corporation's expanded plant
in DePere, Wisconsin. All equipment is the most modern available.
I'll/1Jf' )l0l,hlS Philip
Morris' research program was further strengthened
during the year. The Research Center staff was
expanded to include additional senior personnel with
important skills in various fields.
Two new laboratories-for radio chemistry and
biochemistry research-were fully equipped and
staffed in 1960.
The Research Center is carrying forward a basic
program aimed at the technical problems in all aspects
of the Company's business as well as product
development work in the tobacco area. In addition,
each of the subsidiaries has product development
(Yroups active in its specialized field.
Contributions by Research to Purchasing,
.lIanufacturina and Marketing were significant.
Research on leaf, cigarette components and packaging
materials is reflected in standards of highest quality
maintained in the Company's products with no increase
in costs.
Flavor evaluation and improvement were important
areas of activity aimed at meeting the public's demand
for full-flavored tobacco products. Utilization techniques
were developed to improve efficiency of leaf usage and
product quality.
The Research Department performs scientific and
technical services for all units and subsidiaries of the
Company. The continuing growth of this, activity
indicates the importance of the Research Center to the
Company's diversified business.

Cooperating with Molins Machine Company, Philip Morris
personnel made Marlboro cigarettes on the Molins Mark VIII
maker at the British Trade Fair in New York. Philip Morris'
Janice Taylor greets distinguished visitor, the Duke of Edinburgh.
: l i:( , 1 l l. f: . In October 1960, the
following executive changes were announced:
Georo-e Weissman, formerly Executive Vice President,
Marketing, was named Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of Philip llorris Overseas.
Mr. Weissman will continue as an Executive Vice
President of the parent company.
Clifford H. Goldsmith was elected Vice President,
Subsidiary Relations; and Hu,(Xh Cullman, formerly
Treasurer, was elected Vice President, Assistant Chief
of Operations.
John E. Cookman, Vice President, Diversification,
was also elected Treasurer.
Ross R. \Iillhiser was appointed Vice President,
Director of .llarketing. He had previously been Vice
President and Assistant Chief of Operations.
George J. Henn, Vice President, Distribution and
Customer Service, retired at the end of the year. He
had been Nvith the Company for thirty-seven years
and had been a Vice President for the past seventeen
years.
ll:l: Mutually satisfactory
labor ne<,otiations were completed during 1960 with
the unions which represent most of the Company's
employees. The successful completion of these
ne`otiations reflected the continued history of sound,
understandin; relations between Philip Morris and its
men and women, both union and non-union.
A comprehensive major medical insurance plan,
formulated especially for Philip Morris, was put into
effect for all salaried employees late in the year.

and former Conl-ressman from South Carolina, who
has retired. Mr. Richards' valuable counsel will still
be available to the organization. Philip Morris has
actively supported the work and the aims of the
Institute since its inception three years ago.
The Tobacco Industry Research Committee-now in
its seventh year-has contributed $4 million to research
designed to determine the relationship, if any, between
tobacco and health. Philip Morris, along with other
tobacco manufactttrin- and leaf companies, contributes
to the TIRC. Their research is organized and grants
are allocated throu~h a scientific advisory board
composed of some of the nation's most distinguished
scientific leaders. Those interested in the reports of
the TIRC may write to Executive Director, 150 East
42nd Street, New York 17, N. Y.
The Tobacco Tax Council, Richmond, Virginia,
researches and reports information pertaining to
taxes on tobacco products. Today, 47 states and 324
municipalities collect cigarette taxes in addition to
the eight cents per pack imposed by the Federal
Government. The inequitable tax burden imposed on
smokers is a matter of increasing concern. The Council
has just published a booklet on this subject which is
available on request to The Tobacco Tax Council,
1000 N. Thompson Street, Richmond, Virginia.
The role of the corporation in the community and
the industry continues to expand. Your Company's
management is keenly aware of the responsibilities
and benefits of good corporate citizenship. Just as
Philip l'Iorris is known as a leader and innovator in
research, production and marketing, the Company
conducts its operations in a responsible manner that
will continue to enhance its relationships with investors,
employees, customers, and communities.

1. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned active sub-
sidiaries. Effective January 1, 1960, the Company changed its
accounting practice (1) to include in the consolidated financial
statements the accounts of all wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries,
(2) to include in consolidated earnings the equity of the Com-
pany in net earnings of unconsolidated foreign subsidiaries more
than 5070 owned, less a reserve for federal taxes which may be
payable on these earnings in the event of their remittance. For
comparative purposes, 1959 earnings have been restated on the
same basis.
The equity of the Company in net assets of unconsolidated
foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 1960, exceeded the cost
($5,848,437) thereof by $1,709,640.
In 1960, the Company by an exchange of its stock acquired the
net assets of A-S-R Products Corporation. For accounting pur-
poses, this transaction was treated as a pooling of interests; con-
sequently, the accompanying balance sheets and statements of
earnings and surplus include the accounts of both companies for
each period shown.
