1916 H801-9/M101-4 Globe Clothing
Sorry if this has been posted before, but I don’t recall seeing it. Also sorry if you're tired of m101 stuff, but I have found ads showing that the 1916 Globe cards, kin to m101-4, were distributed in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, not St. Louis or Missouri generally as was reported previously elsewhere. The earliest such ad I’ve seen so far is from the April 28, 1916 Harrisburg Telegraph, and advertises the first series (not by name but twenty cards including Alexander) being available the following day. Note the reference to Dubbel-Hedder suits, same as on the card reverse:
There are a few other ads in the following weeks as well, including one that shows Walter Johnson and another with Eddie Collins.
Would welcome help on Gimbels, to see which stores had the cards-- Milwaukee, Philadelphia or New York (or some combination).
