Default interesting Old Mill T206 ad

Posted By: Hal

Great piece, Leon! The pack shown on your coupon appears to be a pack of pipe/scrap tobacco issued under the same Old Mill brand as the cigarettes. Your coupon also identified Spaulding & Merrick as a wholesaler. Spaulding & Merrick, of course, is the issuer of the Plow Boy set of Cubs and White Sox. Sorry if this is too O/T, does anyone know if there's a connection between the two? Did Spaulding & Merrick sell pipe tobacco (and possibly produce cards) for many different companies?
