Following up on the Turkey Red's, they may not have been actually issued to the public until very early 1910 or late 1909. From the January 5, 1910 edition of the United States Tobacco Journal, there will be "much work" in introducing the brand, unclear if this is literally introducing it or if it more refers to getting it to catch on. It is paired with Fez, Murad and Trophy cigarettes in the ATC's departmental territories. Fez is one of the valid brands for coupons for T3, and the T6 cabinets from Murad are a very similar idea. Trophy was another Turning brand and issued T57. There are a lot of connections between which brands were paired with which other brands in the ATC's departments and the card sets, but I don't believe most of it has been posted before. Apologies if it has and I missed it.
