Miller & Tank
Cigar Manufactory
1864
04 07 Messrs.
B. Miller and A. Tank have recently started a cigar manufactory in this city
and are now carrying on the business with a success and to an extent that we
were not aware of – until we visited their rooms, in McMahon’s Block, the other
day. They constantly employ several
workmen and consume a large quantity of tobacco, thus furnishing the growers
that plant in this vicinity a home market for all they can raise. Their cigars are well made, superior in
quality, and are rapidly becoming generally known and great favorites with
smokers. They are gradually creating a
large and flourishing business and now find a rapid and steady sale for all
they can supply. Those who want a choice
and fine cigar can get it of Miller & Tank and will always find the article
just what it is represented to be. As
long as people will smoke, the material had better be furnished by ourselves
than brought from abroad, while it can just as well be done here as anywhere. WD
