We can assume that e94's are candy cards partly because every known overprint advertises a candy product- but who knows, maybe E94's were issued with cigars and overprinted by a candy seller. I think every anonymous card was issued with the idea that a merchant would place his own ad on the back, but who printed and distributed them? 19th century trade cards were like that- you could find them with myriad ads overstamped by merchants from every trade.
