1st.....With the moderate sampling, so far, in this survey we can conclude that this "printer's mark" appears
on an average of 1 out of every 5.5 Joe Doyle cards.....and, is independent of T-brand.

2nd.....The "Nat'l" lettering on the few known Joe Doyle error cards (approx. 10 known to date) are exclusively
on cards with PIEDMONT 350 backs. And, this fact will never change as T206 guys printed the Piedmont brand
first on all the press runs. And, since they caught this error very quickly, it did not get printed with any sub-
sequent T-brand.

3rd.....If our assumption is correct, that this mark is the remnant of the "N" from "Nat'l" (that was hastily re-
moved); then we can also assume that on the 3rd press run thay cleanly removed any remnant of their initial
mistake. As the majority of the cards indicate.

But, the real question is....if they went thru all these corrections, why didn't they add "Amer." next to N.Y. ?
