I would assume why overprinting of some factory notations was important and thus done--because if they didn't and were distributed out of the state printed, they would be in violation of federal law?
Why is Red Cross considered a Louisiana issue? My thoughts and recollections are based purely of hobby documentation, suggestion, and reports of Red Cross "finds". Any of you have any other reasoning for considering Red Cross a Louisiana issue?

Many T cards were distributed out of the state where they were produced I believe--the factory notations were required for legal reasons associated with production and packaging as noted by Ted. There is a thread here on this somewhere on the site or maybe T206collector.com has it archived. The Red Cross/Louisiana connection is an intriguing one for sure.
