I think Exhibit Supply Co. was based in Chicago. That advertising card mentions "American League" players. Seems that the card would have been on a machine in an American League park, or at least an American League city. I'd think that they had a different card for the National League, wonder who was on it. And It may well be that they had a different card for each city or team. That would have been easy to do, and would have maximized sales. Anyone seen others of these with different players? My recollection is that in later years the machines had a place where 2 or 4 of the actual cards were displayed behind glass or plastic.
