Hicksville Cigars Now Go Hollywood (Defiance Crescent News 6 Dec. 1934)


Douglas Fairbanks





    Defiance county cigars have gone Hollywood.
  Allan H Wright of Hicksville whose plant here manufactures the Mae West brand of smokes, has learned an item in the United States Tobacco Journal, published in New York that no less a personage than Douglas Fairbanks bought up the entire supply of Mae West cigars from Central Avenue dealers in Albuquerque, New Mex., and took them back to Hollywood.
    Fairbanks was so impressed with the Mae West cigars, according to the publication, when he was in Albuquerque making election campaign speech for his friend Clyde Tingley who won the election for Governor. 
    The Wright product is put up in a handsome black suede package with front mark "Try Me Some time."
