Thanks.

Abmchenry..... Welcome to the Club.
The T206 cards were printed in NYC at the American Lithographic Co. in downtown Manhattan.
These cards were then shipped (by rail) to the various American Tobacco Co. Factories. On display here are vintage postcards (circa 1910) depicting three of the 9
ATC Factories, which manufactured tobacco products during the
1909 - 1911 timeframe.
Also listed are the other five Factories which produced ATC tobacco brands during this era.
Factory #25, Richmond, VA
ATC tobacco brands...... PIEDMONT, AMERICAN BEAUTY, BROAD LEAF, CAROLINA BRIGHTS, CYCLE, DRUM, OLD MILL, SOVEREIGN, SWEET CAPORAL

Factory #649, New York State....... HINDU, SWEET CAPORAL
I'm including these two Factory's which included
1910 COUPON cards and
RED CROSS cards with their Cigarettes. Since these cards were printed by
American Lithographic during
1910-1911 timeframe, and are identical with the T206 cards......
Factory #3, New Orleans, LA.......... COUPON (T213-1)
Factory #10, Jersey City, NJ........... RED CROSS (T215-1)
