Frank WakefieldJust when I'd made up my mind to quit responding to this thread...
Scripophily folks are the guys who collect stock certificates. I have several, a Delong Gum Co. one, and American Caramel. Those collector guys research out the mergers and predecessor companies. That's where I got it. I have it saved somewhere... my recollection is that the Hershey guy had a caramel factory, sold it for cash to the new forming / merging American Caramel Co., then Hershey took the cash and built his chocolate factory which lead to the creation of his town, Hershey, PA. That's where I got that stuff...
I'm a bit weary of the bickering, otherwise I'd look at the E107 cards to see if there are more Philadelphia players depicted than there are those of other cities, but how dare I even suggest such a thing without hard proven facts... Shoot, I'm not even sure I spelled that Scripophily word right...
