Civil War veteran and Tobacco tycoon, William Smith Kimball, produced his cigarette brand in the Peerless Tobacco Works in Rochester, NY. In 1867, Kimball took over this Tobacco Co. and transformed this factory using modern, more efficient cigarette manufacturing equipment which by the 1880's was producing 750 Million cigarettes a year.

as I have 74 of the 75 cards in the master set. Many of my favorites are off on a shelf and hard to access. While it's a somewhat unpopular set for a few reasons - I like it because of the artwork, the true to life depictions of the athletes, and the additional action scenes.

Great stuff guys. It really is some fantastically simple artwork.
