Time to ask a stupid question ...
Looks like Eli Witt was quite the seller of tobacco products. This link was sent to me several years back from Chris Browne who found it for me, leading me to believe it was pretty easy for Howe to amass a large collection if that many folks were buying cigarettes from his family store and maybe just giving them to him or leaving them behind. But what are tobacco tags? Would these have had anything to do with either the Piedmont, Old Mill or Hindu brands? Or are these from loose leaf tobacco for those who rolled their own?
