If you are quoting excerpts from "The Card", be careful, because there are inaccuracies in it. For example, starting with this excerpt on Page #33.....
"The cards were printed at seven factories in New York, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina. The factory where each card was made was stamped on the back."
These T206's were printed (produced) in New York City by the
AMERICAN LITHOGRAPHIC COMPANY (ALC) beginning in
1909....and continued thru to
1919 (T213-3).
ALC would package up these cards and ship them via rail to the various Tobacco Factories to be inserted in their Cigarette packs.
The Tobacco Factories' machinery (and employees) were set up
ONLY for producing Tobacco products. They did not have the capability to do the printing.
There are some other such inaccuracies. But, I do not have the time to go into them, now.
