  The 
  business 
  was 
  established 
  in 
  1865, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  R. 
  "W. 
  Oli- 
  

   ver. 
  Was 
  purchased 
  by 
  the 
  present 
  proprietors 
  in 
  1883, 
  and 
  

   is 
  now 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  largest 
  and 
  best 
  equipped 
  smoking 
  tobacco 
  

   and 
  cigarette 
  factories 
  in 
  Richmond. 
  Manufacture 
  the 
  fol- 
  

   lowing 
  well 
  established 
  brands 
  of 
  cigarettes 
  and 
  smoking 
  

   tobacco 
  : 
  " 
  Purity," 
  "Raleigh," 
  " 
  Favorite" 
  and 
  "Powhatan," 
  

   among 
  others, 
  but 
  these 
  are 
  their 
  favorite 
  brands 
  of 
  smoking 
  

   tobacco, 
  cigarettes 
  and 
  cut 
  plug. 
  The 
  brands 
  of 
  this 
  firm 
  

   are 
  rapidly 
  eliciting 
  public 
  favor, 
  and 
  the 
  business 
  of 
  the 
  

   factory 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  more 
  than 
  doubled 
  under 
  the 
  effi- 
  

   cient 
  management 
  and 
  industry 
  of 
  the 
  present 
  proprietors. 
  

   The 
  " 
  Favorite 
  " 
  cigarette, 
  especially 
  — 
  which 
  bears 
  a 
  fine 
  

   picture 
  of 
  our 
  great 
  southern 
  chieftain, 
  Gen. 
  Robert 
  E. 
  Lee 
  

   — 
  which 
  is 
  as 
  yet 
  in 
  its 
  infancy, 
  is 
  so 
  rapidly 
  winning 
  favor- 
  

   able 
  receptions 
  that 
  the 
  firm 
  find 
  themselves 
  taxed 
  to 
  their 
  

   utmost 
  capacity 
  to 
  supply 
  the 
  demand. 
  The 
  "Raleigh" 
  

   brand 
  — 
  cut 
  plug 
  — 
  is 
  also 
  commanding 
  large 
  sales. 
  It 
  not 
  

   only 
  affords 
  a 
  very 
  pleasant 
  smoke, 
  but 
  lasts 
  longer 
  in 
  the 
  

   pipe 
  than 
  the 
  granulated 
  smoking, 
  leaving 
  no 
  nauseating 
  

   sediments 
  in 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  tlie 
  pipe. 
  In 
  fact, 
  all 
  their 
  

   brands 
  are 
  manufactured 
  from 
  the 
  best 
  qualities 
  of 
  Virginia 
  

   tobacco. 
  

  

  ALLEN 
  & 
  GINTER. 
  

  

  At 
  the 
  southeast 
  corner 
  of 
  Gary 
  and 
  Seventh 
  streets 
  may 
  

   be 
  found 
  the 
  celebrated 
  Cigarette 
  Works 
  of 
  Allen 
  & 
  Ginter. 
  

   The 
  labor 
  here 
  is 
  performed 
  by 
  whites 
  exclusively, 
  includ- 
  

   ing 
  several 
  hundred 
  girls, 
  who 
  handle 
  the 
  cigarettes 
  with 
  a 
  

   deftness 
  and 
  dispatch 
  truly 
  remarkable. 
  This 
  firm 
  are 
  the 
  

   pioneers 
  and 
  leaders 
  in 
  this 
  rapidly 
  growing 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  

   tobacco 
  business 
  here, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  fragrance 
  of 
  their 
  " 
  Rich- 
  

   mond 
  Gem" 
  has 
  been 
  wafted 
  the 
  fame 
  of 
  Richmond 
  to 
  all 
  

   parts 
  of 
  this 
  continent, 
  to 
  most 
  parts 
  of 
  Europe, 
  and 
  beyond 
  

   to 
  far 
  distant 
  lands. 
  Tiiis 
  house 
  has 
  no 
  merely 
  local 
  fame, 
  

   its 
  goods 
  are 
  known 
  and 
  appreciated 
  wherever 
  the 
  fragrance 
  

   of 
  the 
  weed 
  in 
  silvery 
  clouds 
  floats 
  upon 
  the 
  breeze. 
  The 
  

   bright 
  and 
  sweet 
  Virginia 
  leaf 
  is 
  unexcelled 
  for 
  cigarettes, 
  

   and 
  this 
  firm 
  have 
  spared 
  no 
  pains 
  or 
  expense 
  in 
  securing 
  

   the 
  best 
  the 
  market 
  affords, 
  and 
  employ 
  only 
  the 
  best 
  skill 
  

   and 
  most 
  approved 
  appliances. 
  Although 
  the 
  firm 
  is 
  so 
  

   widely 
  known 
  as 
  cigarette 
  manufacturers, 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  con- 
  

   fine 
  themselves 
  to 
  that 
  branch 
  alone, 
  but 
  extensively 
  man- 
  

   ufacture 
  smoking 
  tobacco 
  of 
  the 
  choicest 
  brands.
