The name "IRBY'S" on your neat VE piece is W. R. Irby....a manager of that Tobacco Co. He is cited in the court
case that I noted in my prior post on this thread. Here is a link that will get you to a listing of ATC cases starting
in the 19th Century and into the 20th. Slide down the list about 1/3 of the way; and, click onto the "People's
Tobacco Co v American Tobacco Co, 246 US 79" case.

There's a lot of legalese in this very complex and lengthy case. And, if you're a lawyer it should be easy to follow.
See what you make of it.

Also, could you tell me what is printed below the "Factory No. 74, First District, State of MO." line on your piece ?

Thanks,
