HELMAR Cigarette Package Insert 2" x 2¾" - IOWA STATE SEAL - plow, flag, eagle:  HELMAR cigarettes were part of the Turkish and Egyptian cigarette movement of the early 1900s. First produced in 1902 by the Egyptian Ideal Cigarette and Tobacco Works, HELMAR was originally named Ramleh. In 1907 when the brand was taken up by S. Anargyros, a subsidiary of The American Tobacco Company, the name was changed in order to avoid confusion with Ramly, a similar cigarette produced by the smaller Mentor Co. in Boston. The name was changed to HELMAR, which is simply Ramleh spelled backwards. Unlike most straight-Turkish tobacco cigarettes, HELMAR experienced a long life on the market until it was finally discontinued in the mid-1960s.  Iowa is a landlocked state in the upper Midwestern region of the United States. It borders the Mississippi River to the east and the Missouri River and Big Sioux River to the west, Wisconsin to the northeast, Illinois to the east and southeast, Missouri to the south, Nebraska to the west, South Dakota to the northwest, and Minnesota to the north.  Iowa is the 26th largest in total area and the 31st most populous of the 50 U.S. states, with a population of 3,190,369.  In 1845, both Iowa (a free state) and Florida (a slave) were admitted to the union as the 27 and 29 states admitted.  Texas was the 26th state.  This 2" x 2¾" Cigarette Package Insert was part of a series of the states' collectibles included in a package of HELMAR Turkish cigarettes.  The card is in good condition.
