Pogue & Gattis / Pogue & Company / E. H. Pogue & Company

In 1876, Pogue & Company became the proprietor of Webb's Warehouse, and in 1878 he began manufacturing plug tobacco; some of his brands were "Antelope," "Legal Tender," "Red Bird," "Gen. Bragg," "Diamond," "Comet," "Old Reliable," "Gold Dollar," "Our Frank," "Little Ella," "Rum Cured," and "Pogue's Best."

 

Prior to this, the business (then named Pogue & Gattis) was at the south east corner of Churton Street and Margaret Lane. 

 

In April 1879, Elbert H. Pogue moved his tobacco manufactory to Durham, then still in eastern Orange County.
