Barry and Ted,

I am fairly certain that all the cards were printed in the same place with the different factory #s and advertising and then sent to said factories where they were placed in the packages. If I recall, the factory codes were used to show were the tobacco was packaged and distributed from. I know someone (wish I could remember who) knows more about the actual printing process including the type of machines used and the company that may have printed them.

It would be completely cost prohibitive to have several large printing presses at different factories just to produce cards. I am fairly certain they were outsourced to a printer.
