    Default Old advertising from 1876.

    Attached is a picture of Vernor's Drug Store from 1876.
    In front of the store on the corner are three different signs stacked on top of each other.
    Each one has written on it: "Smoke Picks".
    Has anyone have any idea what this means.
    My thought is a variety of tobacco products is available.
    Thanks for any response.
