That sign is on the Ligget & Myers Chesterfield building, which was built in 1948, so isn't the same as the Factory 42 on the T cards. I've tried to figure out what the actual factory #42 was (if it was a specific building in Durham, or just the whole ATC complex), but to no avail. A good history of the ATC complex is
here.
It is a great sign though - was looking at it just yesterday.
