Drummond Tobacco Building

[tedzan]

This has always puzzled me about the DRUM cards (circa 1910). The Drummond plant was in St Louis;
and, many T206 DRUM card finds have been from the St Louis area, However, printed on the backs of
the DRUM cards is "Factory 25".
This American Tobacco Co. plant was in Richmond, VA; and by Federal law, these advertising premiums
had to be inserted in DRUM cigarette packs from that VA district. Therefore by 1910, had the DRUM to-
bacco production switch to VA ?

Can someone here explain this apparent contradiction ? ?
