What evidence do you have that the SOVEREIGN press run was that early in the game ?
My theory has always been that PIEDMONT press runs were first....SWEET CAPORAL secondary. These two T-brands were the primary tobacco products of ATC in
that era.
SOVEREIGN was a tertiary brand in the ATC system and its distribution was regionally limited; therefore, printed subsequent to the 2 above stated prime T-brands.
