Abstract:

Lance Inc., of Charlotte faces an increase in prices as the manufacturer makes millions in revenue. Owner George McCormick created the nickel-priced snack packs that are sold throughout the state, such as Choc-o-Lunch, Nip-Chee, and Toestee-Chee. The rise in basic food products such as wheat, sugar, and oil have reduced the profit margin for the nickel packs, though company sales have increased by 12 percent in 1967.
