Pierre Lorillard II
Dear little one,
Today, I want to tell you about someone named Pierre Lorillard II. Pierre Lorillard II was a man who lived in New York City a long time ago (over 200 years ago!). He was born in 1764, which means he was born before George Washington became the first president of the United States.
Now, Pierre Lorillard II did something very clever: he started a tobacco company! You know how adults sometimes smoke cigarettes or chew tobacco? Well, a long time ago, smoking and chewing tobacco was much more popular than it is today. Pierre Lorillard II saw that there was a lot of demand for tobacco, so he decided to make a business out of it.
Pierre Lorillard II started his tobacco company back in 1760, and he called it the "P. Lorillard Company." It was one of the first companies to sell chewing tobacco and snuff (a powdered form of tobacco) in the United States. People really liked the tobacco products that P. Lorillard Company sold, and before long, the company became very successful.
Thanks to Pierre Lorillard II, many people in the United States had access to tobacco that they enjoyed. However, it's important to remember that smoking and chewing tobacco can be very bad for our health! Nowadays, we know that tobacco can cause many serious illnesses, so it's best to stay away from it altogether.
So that's the story of Pierre Lorillard II, little one. He was a smart businessman who started a tobacco company a long time ago, but we've learned a lot since then about how bad tobacco can be for our bodies.
