Was this a real shop? If so where?

According to my in-depth 10 second Google search, it doesn't appear so.

Where did you find that sign?

Yes. It was a tobacconist in Jefferson City MO in the 70s - 80s.

Google Books often has information that Google doesn't have. Lots of records.

I don't know if you've got a Facebook account, but there is a fellow on Facebook that is a former employee of the place your sign references. It's a beautiful sign, and he may be able to give you some more information and back story.

I don’t do Facebook that often but I may reach out to him. I would have bought the sign but it was a little steep for me

All that old signage is really cool but you're right, it can definitely get up there in price.
