Chuck,

I think what Elliot might be referring to is the fact that World Wide Gum, much like other Gum manufacturers (e.g., Topps), employed various printing companies (not owned by them) to produce their cards. In particular, I am aware of a business called Consolidated Lithograph Manufacturing, once located on Partanas Street in Montreal. An employee who worked there sold us 10 uncut sheets of both 1933 and 1934 World Wide Gum cards. I am also aware that some of the other sheets that left this company were later hand-cut into single cards.
