How about you?

Stuck at 22. The marathon gets a lot more painful as you get further along.

Below are two other Smith's Mello Mint wrappers:



I believe the top wrapper is for an individual stick of gum, while my wrapper (earlier post in this thread) is for a 5-pack.

The bottom wrapper appears to be given out as a promotion of some kind; "unfolded" E105 examples were probably distributed this way.

Many thanks to fellow board member Mark M. for the scan of these two wrappers.

Those are freaking awesome wrappers. Thanks for showing them and thanks to Mark M. for sharing. Great looking wrappers that are super duper rare.

Coincidentally, I was in IT sales for over 20 yrs until 2 yrs ago. My largest customer almost the whole time was Mclane Company (a 30B$$ distributor) based in Temple Texas. I have been there at least 50 times but haven't ever looked for cards .

Here's a couple more newspaper ads I found today - both from 1912. Who decided these cards were released in 1910? I'm beginning to think that isn't correct.

Those are awesome! Thanks for sharing.
