The Orphan Boy brand took its name from a Missouri‑bred prize jack that swept mule competitions at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair and became a local celebrity. 🏅 St. Louis later led the nation in tobacco production, and John Weisert was a key player with over one hundred brands in their line.

The John Weisert Tobacco Company building still stands today as a historic landmark, its old painted sign visible on the brick even though the company closed in the late 1980s after more than a century in business. 🏛️
