General Hartranft
Manufactured in Harrisburg, PA, a blend that is mellowed to please since 1899. The label honors Union General John Frederick Hartranft, a medal of honor recipient during the Civil War hailing from Norristown Pennsylvania. Cigar label art was mass produced between 1880 and 1920 using the lithographic process. The reason for this new form of advertising was the great demand of tobacco combined with the expansion into new markets because of the railroads across the usa. The art was used to draw attention to one brand over another and reflected the values and inclinations of the times.
