    CIGARETTE MANUFACTURING MACHINE
    November 7, 1876 - U.S.A.

    A patent for the first U.S. cigarette manufacturing machine was issued to Albert Hook of New York City (No. 184,207). The Hook machine was invented in 1872, but did not come into practical commercial use until 1882. It produced a continuous cigarette of indefinite length, to be cut into individual cigarettes. Tobacco was fed onto a ribbon of paper. The paper passed over a gummed wheel as it was drawn off its spool. According revenue collection figures, the number of cigarettes manufactured in 1875 was only 50 million.

LISTING INFORMATION :

Website preview thumbnail for : Church Supply Warehouse
In September 1967 our family decided to open a small gift shop in downtown Wheaton, IL. The first name for our store was Wheaton Card & Gift. It was a modest store of about 1200 square feet, 60% of which was devoted to greeting cards and the rest to gifts. In that very first year one of the things in the gift lines we carried were icons and plaques with inspirational verses on them. We also carried the other array of traditional gift store items like vases, mugs, plates, candles, etc. After about the first year we noticed that people were buying the more spiritual items and the rest were going pretty much un-noticed.
