April, I have no other info regarding Havatampa. I searched my books on Gadsden Co, FL where McElvy and Woodbery are from and do not find the name Charles Garcia listed. I looked there because Gadsden Co, FL was the center of the tobacco industry, I believe from the mid 1800's until the mid 1970's. (I was born and raised in that area and I worked in the tobacco fields all summer every summer from the time I was 6 years old until I was 17 years old. I worked 10 hours a day, Monday thru Friday.) I found a number of tobacco companies and their founders, but no Charles Garcia. However, this does not mean that your info is entirely incorrect! McElvy was vice-president of Havatampa Cigar Company. My source does not say who founded the company. Eli B. Witt was founder of what later was to become Havatampa Corp. Witt started the business in a 9' by 30' store on Franklin Street in downtown Tampa in 1910. The name of the store was "Hole in the Wall". Woodbery merged Witt's wholesaling operations, the Havatampa operations and several other operations into the current Havatampa Corp. If I were you, I would contact the Havatampa Corp. and the Chamber of Commerce in Tampa. But, whatever you do, don't give up. Liz
