The new issue of Old Cardboard, which came in today's mail, has an article by Tom Slowey about the Just So tobacco cards. An original poster reveals that the cards were issued by Frishmuth Bros. and Co. This is the first time we have ever been able to determine where these elusive cards originated. I wonder where that advertising poster came from- I assume it's a recent find. Great to solve a hobby mystery.

Years ago I had an advertising piece for "Nationals" cigarettes made by Frishmuth. I thought it to be a 1920's ad. Wish I had known the connection.
My OC came today also and I see it contains articles by other prominent Net54 members as well as a profile of Barry Sloate. Very nice.

Yes Tom, I'm in there too. Lyman was kind enough to include me.
