Testing Cigarettes Was a Job in 1945

Sol C. Korn, cigarette authority, puffs prodigiously as he makes the final and severest test of a a cigarette – the smoking. It’s just a job to him.

Testing cigarettes was part of Sol C. Korn’s job as the director of various cigarette and cigar company’s from the 1920s until the 1960s. In 1945 when this picture was taken he was president of the Fleming-Hall Tobacco Company.

Even with all that smoking, Mr. Korn lived to the age 70, passing away in 1962.
