About This Item
Folio, contemporary reverse leather, MCMCA etched or printed on front panel, 431 pp. Binding shows some wear and scuffing, especially at the edges and spine, a couple of tears at the spine, a small piece missing at the bottom of spine, internally reinforced hinges; internally in excellent condition. A great record of a cigar manufacturer and distributor probably located in New England. The name of the firm appears to be "M.C.M.C.A." or"M.C.M." This was a large scale operation involved not only in making its own cigars (a variety of "MCM" brands), but also in distributing a great many brands for other makers, including Little Sweet Hearts, Smuggler, Concordia, Pantilla, Big Bonanza, and Henry Clay. The firm also purchased and sold tobacco leaf. The account includes regular entries for six individual cigar makers, a foreman, and an agent, with their wages and commissions, and an occasional record of shares of company stock sold to them. This is a fine voluminous account book highlighting an interesting and unusual business.
