This Day in Financial History
1985 - R.J. Reynolds Industries Inc. takes a deep breath and gobbles up Nabisco Brands Inc. in an acquisition valued at $4.9 billion, the largest takeover yet on record outside the oil industry. RJR buys Nabisco for $85 a share - a huge premium over the $60 share price only a month earlier. William Leach, a leading food-industry analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, says the deal isn't likely to have much effect on the food industry and doubts that more mergers will follow. Three months later, Philip Morris buys General Foods.
