They were printing the backs with factory numbers and then overstriking them there too before they left?

This OLD MILL scrap with the inverted "Factory #649" overstrike printed on it (indicative of the printer's test) prior to overstriking the Sweet Cap 150 Factory #30 cards should convince
you of the fact that the overstrikes were printed at American Litho.
The overstrikes were not printed at any Tobacco factory. These factories employed low-paid employees that operated cigarette rolling machinery and in many instances manually stuffed
the cigarettes into their packs.
