Nice
Hi Frank,
Nice card! I wonder how long they ran this promotion. 1 card in every pack of biscuits. Perfect collation would require 200 packs and how long would it take a family to eat that many biscuits? There can't be many full sets around. Rick

Nice card Frank, I mean really nice card!
Rick, the term biscuit as used in the vernacular of the time referred to crackers, cookies, wafers and such more than the bricks that act as accomplices to heart trouble when smothered in gravy. The reference to Paradise Sodas was to a soda cracker more or less a predecessor to today's Saltines, sold by among others Nabisco (f/k/a National Biscuit Co). You're right though--there are darn few complete sets around, if any. The company issued a similar set of 200 in 1917 that are brethren of the E135 Collins-McCarthy cards, with the exact same ad language, as well as one in 1921 that had the same ad for 80 cards. These are even tougher to assemble as sets.
