The major portion of our improvement and expansion program was
completed during the year with addition to our Louisville facilities
raising our one-shift manufacturing capacity there by over 80 per cent.
Our leaf storage capacity was increased to accommodate in our own premises
the storage of strips produced by our ~reen-leaf stemming unit in Louisville.
A new areen-leaf stemmery was completed in Louisville and one in Richmond
is nearing completion. Operating economies are expected to result.
The reQular $3.00 cash dividend was paid on the common stock.

SALES AND ADVERTISING
In the field of advertising we have recognized
the growing interest in television on the part of
the public. Since last October we sponsored the
Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show, I Love Lucy,
CBS-TV, at 9:00 P.M. on Monday. From an un-
known show at that time it has become a first-
ranking program. Other sponsored programs in-
clude: Against The Storm, ABC Radio, 10:45
A.M., Monday through Friday; Break the Bank,
ABC Radio, 11:30 A.M., Tuesday and Thurs-
day; The Strange Romance of Evelyn Winters,
ABC Radio, 3:45 P.M., Monday through Fri-
day; Philip Morris Playhouse on Broadway, CBS
Radio, 8:30 P.M., Sunday; the twin programs
on WPIX, New York TV Station, with Joe Di-
Maggio, Yankee Pre-view and Guest of the Day,
which precede and follow each home game of
the New York Yankees; Racket Squad, CBS-
TV, 10:00 P.M., Thursday. All times given are
Eastern Daylight Saving Time. These programs
are supplemented by intensive nationwide news-
paper coverage.
We have endeavored to mold our sales pro-
motion, both in advertising and in direct sales
work, in keeping with the changing accent of
consumer purchases. Our experimental sales
promotion activities with the long (85mm.)
cigarette, Dunhill, have been restricted to limited
market areas in several metropolitan districts.
These experiments appear promising but it is
yet too early to draw any definite conclusion
concerning them.
"Lucy" and her husband, Desi
Arnaz, receive an award as Board
Chairman Alfred E. Lyon tioatches.

HOW WE USED
OUR SALES REVENUE
(IN PER CENT)
reaching proper age. Thus, leaf inventory liqui-
dated through manufacture and sale of cigarettes
turns into cash.
Because of the length of time during which
tobacco must be aged, bank loans are used
to carry a substantial portion of this inventory.
These funds seldom exceed the book value of
the tobacco to be converted to cash through sale
of the manufactured products within the next
year and a half. The sum of our total borrowings
-funded debt and bank loans-is in conservative
ratio. We do not plan any financing this year.
Although there is no valid expectancy of
lower taxes in view of the current rate of Govern-
ment expenditures and the national debt struc-
ture, in our opinion it is unlikely that the Federal
excise tax on cigarettes will be raised again with-
in the near future.
Despite heavy tax burdens, the tobacco in-
dustry continues to function soundly. In the last
year the Federal Government raised the price of
the tax stamp on manufactured cigarettes by 1(
per package, an increase of 14%. The tax which
this stamp represents, though charged against the
ultimate domestic consumer, must be paid in
advance by the manufacturer who subsequently
collects from the consumer by including the
amount of the tax in the sales price. This recent
increase raised the portion of our working funds
which is continuously advanced to the Govern-
ment without interest to about $14,000,000.

R.` E V f E W O F T t~ E 1952 `~' 1 5 C: A L~ r Y E. A R
The Company's large-scale expansion and
modernization plans which we reported last year
are near scheduled completion. As a result of
this expansion, our on::-shift manufacturing ca-
pacity will be increased by approximately 40%,
making it possible to eliminate the extra night
shifts.
Our sales volume from prior years was main-
tained. Sales in many areas abroad were still
restricted by lack of dollars. Export sales of
Philip Morris products, including sales to United
States Forces, were increased 35 %.
We promoted Dunhill, our long cigarette, in
several experimental cities during the fiscal year
just ended. This product was repackaged in 1951
and the results of its promotion so far have been
encouraging. Additional markets may be opened
in the current year.
Higher excise taxes after November 1, 1951,
and the price increase of July 1950, in effect for
the full twelve months of the fiscal year, ac-
counted for a small increase in net sales. Our
cost of goods sold, augmented by a larger outlay
for revenue stamps, increased, however, so that
with other increased costs, net income after
Federal and State income taxes was $4,062,005
lower than in the previous year.
The added excise tax of 1 C per package legis-
lated in November 1951 brought the amount of
Federal tax stamps per package to 8~. These
excise taxes collected from the industry were
covered by the increased price permitted, but
the O.P.S. allowed no further increase.
The financial condition of the Company con-
tinues strong. Our capital and surplus at $124,-
051,408 offset our complete investment in plant
and equipment as well as almost half of our
investment in current inventories with the bal-
ance covered by debentures and current loans.
Current assets were $243,604,297 against
current liabilities of $109,004,493, leavinE,
working capital of $134,599,804. Our invest-
ment in leaf tobacco is $198,803,705. Bank
loans of $85,000,000 plus long-term funded
debt of $32,000,000 amount to 58.85% of
tobacco inventories.
After paying the regular dividends on the 4%
Series and 3.90% Series of Cumulative Pre-
ferred Stock, and our regular dividend of $3.00
per share on the Common Stock, we retained
$4,041,516 from the year's earnings, an amount
equal to 42% of our increase in fixed assets.
Of the funds needed for our program of ex-
pansion and modernization, approximately
$11,150,000 has been spent since the inception
of the program in July 1950. At Louisville,
$9,550,000 has been spent on the new green-
leaf stemmery, 34 warehouses, and expanded
manufacturing facilities. Approximately $950,-
000 remains to be spent to complete the pro-
gram at Louisville. Our new factory addition
and green-leaf stemmery at Louisville are in
operation and most of our leaf tobacco there is
already stored in our modern warehouses. In
Richmond, approximately $1,600,000 has been
spent for the new green-leaf stemmery and ware-
houses to be completed about August 1952.
Approximately $800,000 more will be spent
there to complete the work.
The completion of this program brings our
productive capacity in line with the cumulative
sales gains of recent years and gives us money-
saving opportunities in the handling of green
leaf not available to us in the smaller volume
period of our early years. At the same time it
makes possible better working conditions for
our employees as the night shift is eliminated.
At the Annual Meetincy last July, share owners
approved a new formula for computing the ac-
crual of the Incentive Compensation Fund. The
distribution of such fund is subject, however, to
the rules and reQulations of the Waae and Salarv
Stabilization Boards. ~

Our investment in property, plant and equip-
ment totaled $19,916,142 after depreciation at
March 31, 1952, representing an increase of
$9,556,608 durina the fiscal year. This invest-
ment includes the major portion of the program
of expansion and improvement undertaken more
than a year ago. When completed the progranl
will account for approximately $12,000,000.
Our investment in leaf tobacco is $198,803,-
705 as against $200,151,303 at the end of fiscal
1950-51. This clean, redried tobacco, packed in
hogsheads and in the process of aging is one
of the most liquid and least perishable of all
business inventories. Aging mellows and im-
proves the smoking quality of tobacco for up to
two or three years after which it maintains its
condition without deteriorating. There is no
quoted market on leaf in storage, its book value
being the accumulated costs of purchase, ship-
ping, redrying, storage and other incidental costs
averaged by grade each month. Its true value is
measured only as the principal ingredient of
cigarettes for whose manufacture it has been set
aside. .

Our domestic and imported leaf departments
have broadened this past year both here and in
the Orient. The importance to our operations of
tobacco of Philip Morris quality is further re-
flected in our increased leaf storage capacity.
In addition to the thirty-four new warehouses
in Louisville, three. have been built in Richmond.
Others will be erected in Richmond on land

which we own there when our building program
is completed. These warehouses will give suit-
able room for care of our tobacco in our own
premises while the aging process brings out the
bouquet and character of the tobacco leaf to be
used in the Philip Morris blends.
Our investment in tobacco this year at $198,-
803,705 is ample, although somewhat smaller
than last year, when we bought heavily of the
exceptionally good 1950 crop.
Philip Morris men visit a leaf market in 1951. Much tobacco is examined in selecting leaf of quality

In reviewing export operations, our Board of
Directors deemed it wise to cancel our running
contract with Tobacco Products Export Cor-
poration, formerly sales agents for Philip Morris
in a number of foreian countries. The balance
of this current contract, drawn up in 1946 to run
until 1961, was canceled for its commuted value
at January 1, 1952, by agreement with Tobacco
Products. We are now in the course of building
our sales and advertising forces in some of the
areas previously operated by that company.

ottr l)ircctor of Research and Develop-
nient brings many years of experience
in the development and improvement
of prodtects through scientifzc research.
Dr. DuPuis iras formerly in charge of
research and development of S. C.
Johnson and Son, Inc. During the war
lie xas engaged in research on vital
military materiel. He is a Fellow of the
American Instittue of Chemists, and a
menrRcr of the American Chenucal So-
ciety and other associations of men in-
terested in the advancement of science.
When the present Philip Morris cigarette was
launched in 1933, it represented a radical de-
parture from the current practices in the tobacco
industry. The pioneering keynote set by the
Company has been followed continuously. The
Company has consistently used science and re-
search, not only in maintaining the high quality
of its products, but in the development of better
products. Continuing research makes possible
new and better methods of manufacture from
the standpoint of quality and efficiency with
attendant savings in cost of production. Research
is an important factor in all industry today and
the Company utilizes research to the fullest ex-
tent.
A new research laboratory is being planned
in Richmond to carry out expanded activities.
An increased staff of chemists, physicists, biolo-
gists and botanists is being organized. The Com-
pany is fortunate in securing the services of Dr.
Robert N. DuPuis who will be in charge as
Director of Research and Development.
The Company is also fortunate in retaining
the services of Mr. Willard F. Greenwald, who
for many years past has been in charge of our
studies of the physiological effects of smoking.
He will work closely with Dr. DuPuis.

The Company's policy is to maintain condi-
tions of work which compare favorably not only
with the tobacco industry but with all industry.
In our program of plant expansion and improve-
ment we continued the use of color, modern
lighting, sound-proofing, and the scientific lay-
out of working area to provide the most pleasant
environment consistent with the efficient use of
business premises for the places where the mem-
bers of our orcyanization spend so large a part
of their lives. y
A Retirement Plan, Blue Cross Hospitaliza-
tion, and Life Insurance, maintained at the Com-
pany's expense, have for many years been part
of our personnel program and enjoyed by all
Philip Morris people.
Operating under the Government's Wage and
Stabilization program, our salaries and wages
which totaled $12,868,604 were maintained at
levels comparing most favorably with the highest
in the tobacco industry.

The Industry, oldest in the American econo-
my, has maintained its upward course over a
period of 300 years. An increase of 2.5 to 3%
in cigarette sales of the tobacco industry for the
year 1952 has been estimated on the basis of a
projection of smoking population growth. As-
suming no further excessive cigarette taxation
and no additional restrictions on tobacco plant-
ing, a continued increase of 2.5% a year has
been estimated which would bring sales up to
470 billion units by 1960, a rise of more than 100
billion over the calendar 1950 figure. The Com-
pany looks forward to sharing in this growth.

We have examined the balance sheet of PHILIP MORRIS

cedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We
made a similar examination for the i'isttal year ended March 31,
1951.

related statements of earnings and surplus present fairly the
financial position of Philip Morris & Co. Ltd., Incorporated

for the fiscal years then ended, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

Hundreds of business organizations are Share Owners in Philip Morris.
Some of them, instead of manufacturing and selling things, depend
largely upon their investments for income. The services rendered to
people by these Philip Morris Share Owners are illustrated by a few
examples pictured here. Without the capitalistic method of profit by
investment, these services would not exist.
Funds of these insurance companies are augmented by their share in
Philip Morris earnings.

Philip Morris quality, a standard feature of all our products,
is the result of carefully developed tobacco know-how which
is backed by a hundred years of experience.
We use the finest domestic and imported tobaccos. We age
our tobaccos in the industry's most modern warehouses-for a
superior smoke like Philip Morris comes only from properly
mellowed tobacco. Expert blending, electrically controlled,
follows the aging process, and secret formulas bring out flavor
and aroma of these blended tobaccos. Our cigarettes are su-
perbly manufactured and packed by ultra-modern machinery.
The best known and the most popular of our cigarettes is
Philip Morris.

years of experience, is fast growing in the king-size field.
Spud, cork tipped or plain, is a superior, evenly mentholated
cigarette.

plain ends, Ivory Tipped, and Beauty Tipped (red) for women.

~ premium price class. Player's Navy Cut "Medium" cigarette,

sle4e-like crush-proof boxes, is also a premium buy.
