However if you look at the Penn No.1 tin it says "No Better Smoking Tobacco Can Be Made" and below that "Chews Good Too."

It seems Penn was focused on marketing these two products to smokers first with chewers being a secondary thought.

Let's stay with the Ty Cobb Cut Plug Tin.
The predominantly chewing tobacco tin, that during the 1910 period was going through a challenge by the up and coming smokers.
The tin that a few feel were the transporter of the Ty Cobb backs.

Don't you think that the Penn people would have had an ad somewhere in the whole State of Georgia telling folks to pick up a Ty Cobb card with the purchase of a Ty Cobb Cut Plug Tin? ..... even though it's chewing tobacco.
