Ted - not sure I follow you buddy but I'll wait for your next posts and see if I can get on track. That being said, I do want to point out that the "American Tobacco Company....Successors" language you reference appears on the packs due to the ATC taking over the production of Sweet Caporal from Kinney & Bros. (I believe in the late 1800's). The successor language is not in reference to L&M taking over from the ATC. I can't remember off-hand but I think Sweet Caporal stayed with the ATC post 1911 and never became part of L&M (unlike Piedmont). I may be wrong about this but I won't know until tonight when I get home and can check reference material.
