By 1884 nearly 5 million cigars were produced yearly in Omaha, with firms like Waltemade Wolf and Saeger & Sons contributing significant output into the early 1900s. World War I era saw decline, though some firms such as Kipp Cigar Company persisted until recently. New library books listed at Osceola Public Library accompany the feature.
