You'll appreciate this excerpt from the book "CONNIE MACK....and the early years of baseball"....
"The NADJA Caramel Company of St Louis issued a set of eighteen cards of the World Champions.
Connie Mack is shown in a high-wing starched collar, his hair still parted in the middle. Over the
next four years, the Athletics would be featured on cards accompanying Fatima Cigarettes,
Honest Long Cut Smoking or Chewing Tobacco, and Recruit Little Cigars."
circa October 1910.
