Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>How did one acquire Old Mill cabinets? Wouldn't you assume that interested parties had to submit some coupons to get them?

Posted By: <b>Hal</b><p>Great piece, Leon! The pack shown on your coupon appears to be a pack of pipe/scrap tobacco issued under the same Old Mill brand as the cigarettes. Your coupon also identified Spaulding & Merrick as a wholesaler. Spaulding & Merrick, of course, is the issuer of the Plow Boy set of Cubs and White Sox. Sorry if this is too O/T, does anyone know if there's a connection between the two? Did Spaulding & Merrick sell pipe tobacco (and possibly produce cards) for many different companies?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I believe Spaulding and Merrick were the original producers of Plow Boy Tobacco....and I think that is the reason I picked up the coupon....but heck, I can't remember why I buy some of the stuff I do....That being said I do collect tobacco and other card related coupons.
