Interesting
Thanks Jaybird, I had not seen that ad before. Interesting that the ad is in May, when m101-5 had already transformed into m101-4. Also interesting that the cards may have been inserted only in the double loaf, not the nickel loaf. I of course would love to see that "circular" referenced in the ad. Finally, it's interesting to see that there was a redemption program in place, although at only one card per loaf, it seems unlikely that many turned in the entire 200 for their prize.
Here's an ad from 1910, also from the Washington Times.
