The origin of the
Chesterfield brand is 1873 (Drummond Tobacco Company of St. Louis). It was named after a County in Virginia.
In 1898, James Buchanan Duke (ATC) bought the Drummond company; and, Liggett & Myers became part of Duke's trust in 1899.
ATC continued to produce Chesterfield cigarettes until the ATC divesture in 1911, in which this brand became an L & M product.
What I'm not sure of....is why the Chesterfield brand was not a part of the T206 scenario ?
