"Labeling America: Cigar Box Designs as Reflections of Popular Culture" showcases the unique collection of John Grossman which covers 90 years of cigar box labels and bands printed by four generations of George Schlegel Lithographers.

John Grossman is one of the leading collectors of, and dealers in ephemera. His collection has grown to over 250,000 pieces. Articles on John, his collection and products designed by him, or under his direction, have appeared in USA Today among others.
