While piecing together what I could find on early Turkey Red, I found some other items of baseball note that might be of interest to other researchers.
1 is this notice in the March 19, 1910 edition on Hal Chase and R.T. Carroll ""stars" of the New York American Baseball club" were doing sales work for "Ismid Cigarette Co.". R.T. Carroll was certainly not a Highlander star; he pitched 5 innings in 1909 and that was his entire MLB career. Interesting to see Chase in such reference with another firm, as T206 was in full swing and he got more cards than anyone in it.
