El Roi Cigar Box

The Penn/Coleman collection at Old Independence Regional Museum is home to this cigar box that was from the Coleman store in Dowdy, Arkansas.   The El Roi box held ten mild cigars made in Pennsylvania and sold for 8 to 15 cents. The box was used as a container for other items after the cigars sold.
