Just cannot imagine the American Lithograph Co. dealing with anything other than the printing. Pretty sure they were not involved with inserting cards into packs.

Frankly, I think they may have shipped sheets to each factory, not cut cards. Just a hunch but the uncut Piedmont box sheet (found in the Carolina's I believe, not NYC) seems to indicate the factories could cut them.
