I know we talked about the Philadelphia problems and shared some clippings over email. I'm digging in my email records. There definitely is some regional packing and issuing differences for premiums based on geography.

I did come across a conversation early last year following up to it. In the testimony of Samuel S. Bloch of Bloch Brothers, he gives some rather suspicious statements that the trust is not hurting independent makers, and that he even sells to United Cigar Stores (an ATC owned outlet). He insists that his companies "Mail Pouch" scrap brand that competed with Polar Bear had had its sale steadily increase even as Polar Bear became popular, "except during the period when the 'exclusive' deals of the American Tobacco Co. existed in New England and Philadelphia". He also states that he, Bloch, had been the first to include coupons with tobacco. He testified at request of the ATC.

I remember there were Pennsylvania (or Philadelphia; sometimes it is hard to discern if a report is actually discussing the city government or the state government located in the city) specific laws on coupons in this period that you found.
