Contains files of Louis V. Place, Jr., executive vice president of the W.J. McCahan Sugar Refining and Molasses Company. In his letters, Place discusses the day-to-day management of the company, negotiations between the United States and Cuba for a new reciprocal trade treaty in 1934, Place's participation in the National Recovery Administration and the War Labor Board, sugar tariffs, and labor strife in the industry. Of particular interest is the material on the Sugar Institute. The Institute was a refiners' association that was disbanded by the United States Supreme Court in 1936 on the grounds that its activities constituted a restraint of free trade. Also included in this series is a subject file related to the Sugar Research Foundation, a lobbying and public relations group for the sugar industry.
