I found this ad in an issue of The Railway Conductor's Monthly from 1888. It reads as follows:
ORDER OF RAILWAY CONDUCTORS' CIGAR.
The Finest 10-Cent Cigar in the Market.
TRADE MARK REGISTERED.
TO THE: Order OF RAILWAY CONDUCTORS.
GENTLEMEN: In placing this cigar on the market, we feel confident that we are giving the Order the BEST TEN-CENT CIGAR that can be manufactured.
We will guarantee to keep the cigars up to their present standard, and by so doing hope to receive the liberal patronage of the Order they are named after, and also their recommendation to their many friends, who are in want of a good cigar. Respectfully,
BRAVO & KEYES,'
MANUFACTURED,
BINGHAMPTON, N. Y.
No cigars are genuine unless the words "Grand Chief" appear on each and every label.
