Louisiana Type Cards Website

Ted - I knew you'd end up here sooner or later. Thanks for info in your post. I think you might be misunderstanding what I'm asking though. I'm asking about Coupon Cigarettes... not T213 cards. I'm trying to find out more information about who made the cigarettes and where.

I understand that all of the cards themselves were printed off-site in other states. I'm trying to tie the cards in with the products in which they were distributed from the LA area.

I know that you know where these cards where printed. I posted that info for those who think that the cards were printed at the Tobacco Factory's.

Regarding your question......the COUPON tobacco brand was assigned to Liggett & Myers (L & M) after ATC's divestiture in 1911. And, I am quite sure
that there was an L & M plant in New Orleans.

That's what I was figuring but I wasn't 100%. Thanks!

W.R. Irby had a branch of Liggett & Myers in New Orleans on Magazine St. I just wasn't completely sure that they were the ones manufacturing Coupon cigarettes.

This building is actually still in use by a law firm:
