I'm sure you guys (I'm talking to you Johnny and Chris) will hate this topic.  |
The fronts were printed first and were assigned a back advertisement according to the number/quantity of print orders that needed filled for demand and distribution.
Popularity of the brands of cigarettes dictated the supply or number of orders and the number of sheets printed to fill those orders accordingly.
