PARKWAY 3040 M St. N.W. The Truth about WHITE OWL CIGARS [If you enjoy a good cigar, read this frank statement of facts) THE executives of the General Cigar Co., Inc., early in 1931 met to consider what was the most important step the company had ever been asked to take. It was proposed to reduce the price of the White Owl cigar, which for fourteen years had sold at 7 cents, and up, to 5 cents. The price reduction was to be made without decreasing the size of the cigar, or changing the tobacco in it. In blunt terms, the proposal meant selling at 5 cents the identical cigar which was then being bought by millions at a higher price. 7 k4 v TO speak frankly, there were misgivings among the executives of the company — justifiable and logical misgivings. The White Owl was a long invincible shape. It was a long filler cigar; not made of scraps and broken leaves, typical of over- size 5-cent cigars. Furthermore, the tobacco in it was the most expensive long filler leaf that this country grows. To market the White Owl exactly as it was, at 5 cents, seemed a manufacturing impossibility. To reduce the size, or take anything out of the quality of the cigar, was not for a minute considered. If this were done, White Owl would be- come merely another 5-cent cigar, trading for a limited time on the name, popularity, and prestige it enjoyed at higher prices. . 7 7 7 Ix the face of facts and figures of produc- tiop which said “No”, the executives con- tinued to study the proposal because the underlying principle of the General Cigar Co., Inc., argued for the reduction. Giving the consumer the utmost which can be delivered at a price, and still make a profit for dealer, distributor, and manu- facturer is the basic policy of the company. Its progress and its success have been written in adherence to this principle. After days of analysis of costs of produc- tion, and a far-seeing forecast of results, the executives decided to reduce White Owl to 5 cents, and still manufacture it exactly as it was being made. No economy in buying tobacco aided them. White Owl long filler tobacco had been purchased two and three years before they took this critical step. But costs of production, of merchandis- ing, and of distributing, were cut by many ingenious efficiencies. The margins of profit of manufacturer and distributor were narrowed. The dealer was to pay more for White Owl than standard 5-cent brands. All were to net less on the sale of one cigar, and gain in- creased profit through the rapid turnover of multiplied sales. But basing the decision most of all on vast outpui, the executives of the General Cigar Co., Inc., in June, 1931, ordered the reduc- tion of White Owl to 5 cents. 7 7 7 THE mathematical results of White Owl at 5 cents were amazing. Within a month it broke all cigar records for rapid increase of consumption. In one year the White Owls smoked have passed the 425,000,000 mark. Smokers who smoked White Owl at higher prices at once knew it for unmatched smoking value. Smokers of higher priced cigars, turning to it as a real economy, found no let-down in smoking satisfaction. Smokers of standard 5-cent brands flocked to its generous size and fine appearance. Better tobacco will tell, and White Owl told quickly to discriminating smokers. In turn the world saw it in the vast consump- tien of White Owls. 14 7 14 HERE and there a skeptic could not believe that it was the same 7-cent White Owl being sold at 5 cents,-and his skepticism was not so surprising. Though the cigar looked the same, and smoked the same, some men could not but distrust a value which seemed impossible. All the time the guarantee of the General Cigar Co., Inc., backed up their statement that it was the same identical White Owl. Doubt cannot stand up in the face of qual- ity. White Owl at 5 cents established itself at the cigar case as the same cigar which sold 14 years at 7 cents, and up. If one seeks the secret of how the General Cigar Co., Inc., can manufacture a cigar and sell it at 5 cents, which sold for 14 years at higher prices, the answer lies in organ- ized production and vast output. It is explained by the fact that manufacturer, distributor, and dealer all net smaller profit on the sale of one cigar. In the last analysis, the consumers, through their spontaneous co-operative buy- ing, make themselves,the beneficiaries of White Owl’s price and vast consumption r 1 71 SMOKE White Owl because it is top value in a 5-cent cigar, but never expect your dealer to sell it for less than a nickel. He cannot afford it. Hg pays more for White Owl than for ordinary 5-cent cigars. It is sold without premiums or prize con- tests. Big buyer or little buyer, the dealer should get a full nickel for White Owl. The price to the consumer is a// in the cigar. Purchase a few of this unique 5-cent cigar, and smoke out the truth of White Owl. Borsnal Gor &,
