Helen M Elliott, cigar box manufacturer, 135 E Green St, home 110 W Mill St.

Norton & Hanford’s Ithaca City Directory for 1899

Ithaca, NY

“Miss Helen M. Elliott, proprietor of the little cigar box factory at 135 East Green street, with two women assistants, turns out an average of 1,200 cigar boxes per week. Miss Elliott succeeded to the business upon the death of her father, the late Thomas Elliot, some twelve years ago. The entire product of Miss Elliott’s modest industry is taken by the various cigar manufacturers in this city all but one of whom purchase their cigar boxes of her. She is an active, intelligent, business-like woman, and an excellent example of woman’s success in a pursuit usually followed by the opposite sex.”
