GBD Oppenheimer On Cover Of 1922 Tobacconist Magazine

GBD Pipe First Branded Pipe in Existence Oppenheimer Claims
The pipe industry in France prior to 1852 was devoted to the manufacture of clay pipes
In that year Ganneval Bondier & Donninger founders of the GBD establishment introduced the manufacture of meerschaum pipes in France
Again in 1885 they introduced another new material in pipe making the briar root
The early success of this material for pipes is noted in the memoirs of one of the founders
This pioneer in new fields of pipe manufacture wrote - The use of briar root for manufacturing pipes was attended with the happiest results it being smooth to the palate the first time of smoking is light in the mouth does not burn by the combustion of the tobacco and is in fact the most hygienic the most pleasant and the cheapest of any known kind of pipe
Messrs A Oppenheimer & Co are justly proud to claim for the pipe that it is the first branded pipe in existence and they also claim to the honor of making the first importation of briar pipes from Europe to the United States
GBD pipes represent the very highest that can be procured in material and workmanship and wherever they have been exhibited they have always carried off high awards and honors
GBD pipes are in great demand all over the world and in fact so great is the demand that two factories in France and one in England are not able to cope with it
The New York Branch of A Oppenheimer & Co at 45 John Street is under the able management of HS Lederer favorably known from Coast to Coast
A complete stock of GBD pipes in both Italian and French finish is always on hand in New York

A complete line of tobacco pouches cigar and cigarette tubes smokers requisites and novelties is also carried in the New York office
Messrs A Oppenheimer & Co call attention to their long shank GBD briars with short amber or vulcanite mouthpieces which are great favorites with the Irish pipe smoker and it is a well established fact that wherever you find an Irishman you will find a GBD pipe smoker
These GBD Irish Shapes are in great demand all over the United States and their sale is steadily increasing from month to month
Messrs A Oppenheimer & Co's great display of GBD pipes at the recent tobacco show in London England excited favorable comment and their booth was examined by thousands of enthusiastic visitors including a great many celebrities
