On June 19th, 1877 Charles and Herbert Larus open their new tobacco business in a small two story factory on East Franklin Street in Richmond, Virginia. This early firm became known for their fine Edgeworth and Holiday pipe tobaccos. Over the years, though, Larus & Bro. and their subsidiary, Reed Tobacco Company, made cigarettes that they sold in handsome softpacks with downhome names. The Reed Tobacco Company was originally the Ware-Vaughn Tobacco Company. The three Reed brothers, William, Pleasant and John, changed the name when they acquired the firm in 1912. John Reed was married to Charles Larus' daughter Jennie. Ten cent Domino from the 1930's, and the World War II Chelsea were the most popular, but Larus also made Alligator, Parrot, Jumbo and many other low volume smokes. During October 1968 the Larus & Brother Company was acquired by Rothmans of Pall Mall Canada Limited. With their named changed to The House of Edgeworth, this old time tobacco company continued as a manufacturer of quality tobacco products until the early 1970's. In 1974 Rothmans closed the Larus & Bro. main factory, which by then was located on 'tobacco row' in Richmond. The continued production of their tobacco and cigarette brands was contracted out to the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company.
