...Francisco, 40? to 50?.) To fight that rise, the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. has now hit the streets with Laredo, a kit that might be called the Rolls-Royce of cigarette-rolling machines. Fast, efficient and all but completely foolproof, it turns out a filter cigarette in less than a minute. Included in the outfit are tobacco, specially made papers and filters, the rolling machine and even 20-butt packets (which, curiously, do not bear the compulsory warning that smoking may be injurious to health).

Whenever there is a sufficient change in heat intensity, a different color filter pops in front of the thermograph's internal light bulb. The resulting flickerings are then recorded on color film, with each hue representing a different temperature range. Colors are arbitrarily selected. Warmest areas are represented by shades...
...steel company giving up smoking. Imagine Armco." Potlatch Forests, Inc., a lumber company, has ads with scenes of forests and wildlife. One shows a sparkling, pine-flanked waterway over the headline: "It cost us a bundle, but the Clearwater River still runs clear."
