From the Glenwood Herald, Thursday, Sept. 14, 1922.
Glenwood has a business enterprise that is not as well-known as it deserves. We are referring to the cigar factory that is established here. Mr. A. Eliason is the cigar maker and the two brands that he makes that are especially good are The Blue Ribbon and The Commercial Club. These cigars are sold all over the state and in many parts of Dakota. Mr. Eliason states that he sells more of these in some cities in North Dakota than he does in Glenwood. The reason for this we feel is that he has not advertised them enough. These cigars compare so favorably with other good cigars of the same price that there should be a big sale for them.
Mr. Eliason sells about 100,000 cigars a year.
