Description
In the early 20th century, tobacco was in great demand. Many companies issued products, like cigars, into the marketplace. To differentiate their brand, they hired artists to design fancy labels for the boxes and the cigars themselves. Many names were also given to these brands and often these names were take from current events, history, or people. This label is an example of the art of the period. Benjamin Rush (January 4, 1746 [O.S. December 24, 1745] – April 19, 1813) was a Founding Father of the United States. Rush was a civic leader in Philadelphia, where he was a physician, politician, social reformer, educator and humanitarian.
