Default Hi Leon

Thanks for the compliment regarding my World Series program(s). I have most of the Yankees World Series programs from 1923 - 1981.
I try to acquire the programs that are scored, as I find them to be more interesting.


Liggett & Myers was given the following Cigarette brands when ATC was divested in May 1911:

Piedmont
Fatima
American Beauty
Home Run
Coupon
King Bee

And as you know, tobacco cards (BB & non-sports) with some of these advertisements (American Beauty, Coupon, Fatima, Piedmont, etc.)
continued to be issued until 1919.

So, I find it quite puzzling that the Chesterfield brand was not printed on tobacco cards shortly after its introduction by L & M in 1912.
