Wisco Gas and Spic and Spans
Another interesting note. My father gave me a set of cards from '53, he thought were Spic and Spans. Upon further research, they are actually Wisco Gas cards. They look identical to the '53 Spic and Spans but they do not have the Spic and Span logo on them. Wisco gas stations were only located in Milwaukee, Madison and Racine. I'm not sure how widespread the Spic and Spans were distributed, but I'm guessing based on scarcity, that the Spic and Spans were in a much narrower distribution range than Johnston Cookies.
