Unique Cleveland Artifacts

Two of Eric's favorite artifacts are here on the Cleveland panel. One, the original financial statements from 1912, were actually found shoved in the back of an old filing cabinet on the cigar rolling floor in 2014.

The other is a reprint of a 1908 Tobacco Leaf article discussing Klafter & Sauber selling J.C. Newman products. Klafter's is still owned by the Klafter family and continues to do business with J.C. Newman Cigar Co. almost 120 years later. 

Take some time to read additional stories on the panel and timeline here. When you are ready, Eric will introduce you to the early brands of J.C. Newman and their unique marketing style!
