smoking tobacco as labels. His trade
was entirely with tobacco manufacturers
or Richmond. and at the time or starting
the business be did not dream OF ever
selling tie products % his Nttla shop out
Side OF this city.
The local trade was good and the bust
ness grew. Ten years later. that fs 20
say. ia october. 1889, Mr.. Milton Marcuse
i'@7csIne interested and the firm u Hasker
~ Marcuse was formed. The demand for
goods % the character put out by the
concern increased. and this firm soon
saw that there was a bright business fu-
ture on ahead
