The increase becomes ef- fective Oct. 1. The retail price of a package of 20 cigarets in Ontario formerly was 40 cents. In Quebec province the man on the street will now pay 45 cents instead of 43 cents. A company spokesman said that manufacturing costs, the principal | items being leaf tobacco, labor and | packaging materials, have increas- | ed. Transportation costs, selling | | costs and taxes also have advanced | and combined with the increased | Local Long Distance Service Speeded Up cost of manufacturing made a price increase unavoidable. He said that "out of the price increase approximately one-third goes to the wholesale and retail trade and, of course, the federal government also participates directly due to the 10 per cent sales tax. What then remains is requir- ed to meet the rise in costs ex- perienced by the company. The company's new price to the trade will go into effect with shipments made on and after Oct. 1.". Macdonald Tobacco Company, in- corporated, declined to comment when asked whether they would boost cigaret prices or not. Benson and Hedges (Canada) Limited of- ficials said they did not plan a price increase at this time. Imperial manufactures 10 brands of cigarets, Sweet Caporal, Play- ers, State Express, Pall Mall, Milbank, Gold Falke, Guinea Gold old Kentucky, Winchester and Fat- ima. In Quebec province the com- pany's cigarets sell for 43 cents for a package of 20 including provincial and federal sales tax. The new price effective Oct. 1 on new stocks will be 45 cents. However, it was understood that the Quebec government is consider- ing adding another cent tax to the two cents now in effect. 23 CARRIERS QUALIFY FOR OTTAWA TRIP Every day sees new additions made to the list of carrier boys of The Times-Gazette who have qualified for the three- day trip to Ottawa, beginning on October 8.
