A CENTURY IN THE MAKING
In the early 1900's, U.S. tobacco companies produced a variety of tobacco silks that were included free with cigarette packs. Popular subjects included actors, animals, flags, baseball players, and U.S. Presidents. Around 1910, there was a four-year period when the theme focused on U.S. Colleges and Universities.
