One of the nicest image of the show is a depiction of an industrial symbol from Québec city. Olivier-Napoléon Drouin, mayor of Québec (1910-1916), founded Rock City Tobacco. His first brands were «Sweet Rose», «Bluebird», «Britannia», etc. The company was so successful that it soon expanded in all of Canada, transforming 1,5 millions pounds of tobacco., 60 brands of cigars etc. Rock City Tobacco was sold to Rothmans in the sixties.
