Mogul Cigarette Silk featuring President James Buchanan
Manufactured in New York, circa 1912-1915
Interesting ephemera featuring James Buchanan.
The complete set featured 24 Presidents and were collected then and now.
Mogul was an expensive hand-rolled all-Turkish cigarette that was started by an independent maker in New York City and by 1914 was owned by the American Tobacco Company.
After an anti-trust suit ATC was split into smaller companies with a focus on “standard cigarettes” that could be more efficiently mass-produced and sold at a lower cost. As the tobacco industry became more competitive, finer brands of cigarettes struggled in the marketplace and resorted to marketing methods such as these silks to retain their popularity.
