I was wondering why the company would stamp the backs of the redeemed cards if all they were going to do was keep them and destroy them....

but I guess it could have been to prevent EMPLOYEES from pilfering a pile of the already redeemed cards and giving them to someone to redeem AGAIN for ANOTHER prize?

Now that we know from Brian's article the history of thse Breisch-Williams Company and where it was founded...

is there anyone who can go back and research the newspapers from that city during the 1902-1905 time period and LOOK for some sort of AD for this candy an/or any give-aways??
