We cannot ignore this timeline. I will get into this later today, as I have to leave right now.

Ted, I found some more information why Polar Bear probably wouldn't be in the ATC Journal.
It wasn't an ATC brand until 1914

I also said like Coupon I think it's possible that the Polar Bears weren't printed with the other t206's.
Now I'm not saying this is proof but the Owner of Polar Bear Tobacco Eddie
Wilbern was a Baseball fan who even talked about buying the Brooklyn Dodgers.

So he could have decided to use the past success of the cigarette inserts to promote his product and also could have been the reason for team changes on Demmitt and O'Hara.
He was known to promote his products in interesting ways.
