American Caramel E125 distribution?

[Leon]

I missed getting this item this morning as someone hit the BIN before I did but I think this could be a glimpse of how E125s were distributed. There isn't a lot of info but it looks like it could have been...it is the upper left ad and can be enlarged...

interesting. I think it was/is widely believed that the die-cuts were box-toppers for the candy store to use as a counter display.

one e125 per candy piece (as I read it) seems like alot for a little. and you'd think more would have survived.

...then again, 100 e125's for 55 cents, I'd do backflips. or is it 100 candy pieces per e125 and 55 cents?

Very cool illustration! 100 cards for 55c wholesale.

Btw Leon, you must have a pretty broad search, jeez!

Nice pick Leon...Those perfectly describe the E-125's. Also like the graphics on the Educational Series cards. E-125's are one of many American Caramel issues that were originally marketed in the greater San Francisco Bay Area (among other regions I'm sure)........Oh Matt, I think Leon actually does the searching himself
