Cigar makers used the symbolism of National Holidays and Special Events (e.g. 'It's a Boy') to promote their cigars for that particular occasion. I have concentrated on the Family Events that most of us have experienced (at least in part) during our life. I hope to expand on the Holiday Event labels in the near future. The image above was a hand out from a cigar box maker 'F. D. Stauffer' stating that "A complete assortment of Schumacher & Ettlinger's cigar box labels and trimming, constantly on hand." The calendar is for the year 1886 but the litho is © 1884 S & E. |
