Here's an interesting tidbit about the Larus & Brother (Tobacco) Company:


Quote:
During both world wars the federal government requisitioned Larus's entire line of production. One special war project involved the secret distribution of cigarettes in the Philippines whose packages bore the words, "I Shall Return," and the signature of General Douglas MacArthur.


The company dissolved in 1974.

Just had a moment of recognition looking at your letterheads.
I have several of these tin Edgeworth boxes I found in my Grandmother's basement when we cleaned out her house almost 30 years ago.



I know they're quite common, you see a lot of them in antique stores and at auctions, but I often think how I'd grabbed more of them back then, when they were free. They're quite handy.
