Larus and Brother Company
Larus and Brother Company was established in Richmond, Virginia in 1877 by brothers Charles and Herbert Larus. They were well known for their pipe tobacco brands, Edgeworth and Holiday, and later manufactured cigarettes. Over time, they acquired the Reed Tobacco Company (which up until 1912 was the Ware-Vaughn Tobacco Company), and were themselves bought out by the Canadian company Rothmans of Pall Mall in 1968. Rothmans changed the name of Larus and Brother to the House of Edgeworth, and closed the company down in 1974, contracting the right of manufacture of their brands to Liggett & Myers Tobacco .
