Pennsylvania Barn Art
A Mail Pouch Tobacco Barn is a barn with one or more sides painted from
1890 to 1992, as an advertisement for the West Virginia Mail Pouch chewing
tobacco company (Bloch Brothers Tobacco Company), based in Wheeling,
West Virginia. At the height of the program in the early 1960s, there were
about 20,000 Mail Pouch barns spread across 22 states.
