Factory No. 25 on the other hand could literally be one of a dozen or so manufacturers, short of finding one still housed in the original packaging (which does still happen by the way) we will likely never know.

The best guesses are probably Piedmont, Old Mill, Sovereign, American Beauty, Drum, Sweet Caporal, or even a Factory 25 Recruit (Recruit produced cards out of that factory as well but no Fac. 25 Recruit backs are known in T207).

The other possibilities (longshots) are Richmond Straight Cut, Fatima, Egyptian Oasis, or Carolina Brights.

Thanks for the input!

However, I still believe that L&M issued all T207, that's why I don't think Sweet Caporal and Sovereign cannot be the #25's.

I know for a fact that these brands belonged to L&M:

American Beauty
Coupon
DRUMmond
Fatima
Home Run
Imperiales
King Bee
Napoleon
Piedmont
Recruit
Red Man

I'm not 100% sure if these went to L&M.

Broad Leaf
Cycle
Old Mill
Red Cross

Your Factory #25 Recruit theory sounds plausible, as does any of the above brands.
