Bill, it actually says that there are 250 pictures in the assortment that the jobber was to receive, not that there are 250 subjects in the set.
The ad is a great research find; thanks for sharing it.
The ad also says there are 72 small boxes in each container and 48 containers in a case. The containers sound like the equivalent of modern card wax boxes. I wonder if the containers actually had cards printed on them or if the images on the containers were different in size or other ways from the actual box cards?
