Antique photograph of a tobacco store from circa 1908. Location unknown, but possibly Chicago, as there is a preponderance of the Chicago-based Pocahontas brand cigar boxes in the display cases. Also visible are other well-known brands such as Sure Shot and Polar, both in pouches, as well as Three States Mixture in flat tins.

WWII vintage souvenir photograph folder from the "world famous" Kitty Davis Airliner Night Club of Miami Beach. For having been so famous, very little is known about Miss Davis in general, especially after her Miami days. Apparently, Kitty went south after her welcome in Chicago ran out, despite operating a night club supposedly staffed by a refined, all college-girl staff. The authorities didn't seem to agree.

This vintage WWII photograph bears the inscription, "How do you like the tan?" Location unknown.
