Default Drummond Tobacco ad
Posted By: Lee

Someone in our office suggested the card dates to the 1884-85 year. And below is some data on the founder of the tobacco company - good luck with more data.

James T. Drummond
Birth: Nov. 21, 1834
Death: Sep. 30, 1897

Businessman. Founded the Drummond Tobacco Company in St. Louis. The Drummond Tobacco Company later was purchased by the Meyers Tobacco Company (later became Liggett-Meyers). He served as Alton, Illinois' mayor from 1868 to 1871.
