Hi Ted,

Keith Olbermann wrote a good article on Irving Lewis and his 'career'. See:

Ted - A real shot in the dark but the pack in your initial post reads "H. Ellis & Co. Baltimore."

There was a large lithograph company named A. Hoen & Company based in Baltimore with another factory in Richmond, VA.

A. Hoen printed the covers for cigar boxes. The link below contains the line "In the newer Richmond plant the quality of inks and paper stock, as well as the multi-layer lithography process itself saw great advances, to the point where most Hoen-produced covers and cigar boxes from the 1890s forward still retain their original hues after more than a century. "

Thanks....I hadn't seen that article.

But, it still leaves me wondering about this Irving Lewis card.
