Tin lithograph advertising sign for Soldier Boy tobacco.
Soldier Boy tobacco was manufactured by The B. Leidersdorf Co. of Milwaukee, WI. The company was started by Bernhardt Leidersdorf, a German immigrant who stirred up controversy after death for his manufacture of a line of tobacco with a racist name. It didn't seem to hurt his reputation in life as he served as a Republican alderman and debt commissioner in 1880s Milwaukee, in addition to running a highly successful company.
