Gabriel's N.Y.

Interesting. Is it a person or a business or what?

Gabriels, NEw York was a small town where a Sanitorium was established in 1897 to treat tuberculosis patients. Though it is unlikely the Patients would be sold cigarettes, I wouldn't put it past them. There were and still are many tourism destinations in the area, and I'm sure there would have been at least one tobacco shop, hotel or bar there from 1909-1911. Gabriels, NY was named for Catholic Bishop Henry Gabriels.
