Newark, Ohio

Swisher Sweets
Back when I was a kid, back when smoking was still a common practice, Swisher Sweets were a popular brand of small cigars. When I was in high school the nearest sizable town was Newark, Ohio, which, it turns out, was the birthplace of these same Swisher Sweets. The company started there back in 1861. By 1895 they are making 300,000 cigars a day.

Jacksonville, Florida
In 1924 they packed up and moved to Jacksonville, Florida. All this comes from the company's web site.

Newark has shown up a couple other times here.
