Anyhow....in the early 1900's (circa 1902-04) the Federal Gov. required for the purposes of Taxation of Tobacco products, the DISTRICT and FACTORY # had
to be identified on their advertising (cigarette packs, premiums, etc.)

Therefore, in anticipation of the ATC's transfer of their Sweet Cap brand to Liggett & Myers (Durham, NC), the 109 subjects in the T206's 350/460 series and
the 460-only series were stamped with the Durham Factory # 42.

In addition, for some unknown reason, the 46 subjects in the 460-only series were issued and shipped to the NY Factory # 30.
