Abstract:

Emblazoned with the Lucky Strikes cigarettes symbol, it’s a reminder of a time when four fifths of the United States’ tobacco products came from Durham’s American Tobacco Company. The company still has a presence in town as the American Tobacco Campus, complete with historic buildings and courtyard.
