[Leica] Building in Van Wert

[reid at mejac.carlsbad.ca.us (Brian Reid)]

Throughout my entire childhood, I was kept supplied with wood cigar 
boxes for school projects, holding pencils and erasers, and so forth. 
These cigar boxes all had "Van Wert Tobacco Co" stickers on the bottom. 
My mother's sister moved from Fort Wayne to Van Wert when she got 
married, and her family never left.  My uncle (Paul "Pete" Brenner, the 
husband of my mother's sister) owned that tobacco shop, and gave his 
relatives lots of empty boxes.

When I began studying French as a youngster, I was the only child in the 
class who understood what a "bureau de tabac" might be.
