How were the "T" cards shipped to the factories?
Hello ... My understanding is that the ALC printed and cut T206 and T205 cards from their factory in NY and then shipped them to tobacco factories in NY, VA, OH, etc. I assume they shipped the cards via rail? And I wonder how the cards were packaged when traveling to their corresponding factories for distribution inside packs of tobacco? Big cardboard boxes? Just curious. Last night as I was looking at one of my T205 cards with a Polar Bear back and I started wondering about where my card had started its long journey (like freshly minted from NY in 1911 .... then on to Ohio to be put in a pack of scrap tobacco ... Then to a smoker/chewer somewhere in the midwest ... ? If these cards could only talk :-)
