Default Piedmont Overback?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

The scroll overprints (Sweet Cap 150/649 and Sweet Cap 460/42) and the Factory changes were all printed
at American Litho. and then shipped out. American Litho. also printed the cigarette packs in sheet form and
shipped them out to the cigarette Factories.

The individual Cigarette Factories did not have the facilities to print this stuff. They were in the business of
producing and packaging their cigarette brand.

Everyone here has to realize that James B. Duke (American Tobacco Co.) and Joseph P. Knapp (founder of
American Litho.) were very close friends and business associates.
Virtually every printed artifact that was associated with ATC was produced by American Litho.
