Historical Context
Founded in 1890, the American Tobacco Company grew mainly by acquisitions until it controlled most of the smoking tobacco industry in the USA. Its sister, the Continental Tobacco Company, was organized in 1898 to control the plug tobacco sector as where the American Snuff and American Cigar companies to control their respective segments of the tobacco trade.
These companies were merged into the Consolidated Tobacco Company of New Jersey in 1901.
The assets of the company were purchased by Philip Morris in 1934.
The company continued to operate independently, primarily as a holding company with vast holdings, including mining properties.
