"He [Albert H. Platts] had been so successful that in 1867, when only 22, with Captain John W. Farrand, he purchased the Kellogg tobacco and cigar factory that had formerly been the Hibbard and St. John silk factory on the northwest corner of Seneca and Meadow streets. Success continued to reward his ventures in commercial affairs and he sold his interest in the firm to Charles Tourtellot in 1870."
