Reynolds Metals has long since outgrown its dependence on the tobacco industry: only about 30% of its business is in that field. Specializing in the art of packaging, it now makes anything from wine caps to book jackets, from ham wrappers to ginger ale labels, from candy box covers to containers for permanent wave pads. Lately Reynolds has added building materials, and it is in that division that the company is presumably about to expand.

S. investor believed that soft drink corporations like Coca-Cola would suffer, while companies making ginger ale and carbonated water as "mixings" would greatly benefit.

Its subscribers are the heavy cream of the hunting gentry...
...House of Anheuser-Busch today stands for many things besides beer. Founder Adolphus' son August Busch managed to pay small dividends pretty regularly through the dry years by making near-beer, yeast, malt and corn syrups, truck bodies, cabinets, Bevo, ice-cream, ginger ale, Diesel engines for U. S. submarines. Other interests include a local coal company, the Hotel Adolphus in Dallas, Tex. and the tiny St. Louis & O'Fallon Ry. whose valuation case in the Supreme Court made railroad history. August Busch died by his own hand two months after Repeal (TIME, Feb. 19). Adolphus Busch...
