some valid information on how he came up with his estimates.

Patrick that article is EXACTLY where I derived my T206 checklist from. I have changed it to match T206Resources series checklists now though.

Not challenging the assertion, and I have no contradicting evidence, just curious.

I appreciate your curiosity. I correct my statement in post #22......

Factory #33 (4th District) that manufactured the Ty Cobb Tobacco was located in Reidsville, NC.

The Wilson, NC Factory is the location of Contentnea Cigarette production.

Please excuse, I didn't mean to confuse.

Great photo, guy.

A pretty good looking building for a 120 year old structure. Joseph Palmer Knapp took over American Lithographic from his father in the late 19th Century.
And, had this 13-story building constructed in 1895. Nowadays, this building is dwarfed by the skyscrapers that surround it in lower Manhattan.

Furthermore, J. P. Knapp and James Buchanan Duke (ATC) became close business partners. J. B. Duke financed J. P. Knapp in the early days of American
Lithographic.
