Digging up history - the companies behind the cards

Zach,

Great post! I've got a similar story to share. Back in 2008 I began researching
information about the Philadelphia Caramel Company. I managed to
locate a grandson of the original owners, who, by the way, still lives in
New Jersey. He provided me with a few photos of the owners that I used
in the publishing of my first book.

Fast forward to last year. I decided to write another book, this time
exclusively being a biography about the Philadelphia Caramel owner. I've
been in contact with the same family member, who has provided me with
additional photos, family records, and memoirs from his grandfather! For
this I am extremely grateful.

All along, this family has been so cooperative and helpful, really going above
and beyond to be helpful to me. Upon completion of the first book, I sent him
a complimentary copy of the book, as I plan to do for the second book as well.

Best of luck with your research on the Tango Egg brand. There is definitely a
story to be told, and who better to tell it than you! Yes, there is also an
audience who would read your book if you ever decided to write one.

As a side note, I was once the webmaster for the website 1919BlackSox.com.
I had a number of players families, including two of the Black Sox players' families
write to me.

All,

I've gotten a few PM inquiring about how to obtain a copy of my book.
There was only one print run of 100 books produced. I have the last ten
copies available. If anyone is interested, they're available for 12.99 + 2.51
s/h, for a total of $14.50. If anyone is interested, my PayPal account is
star6240@att.net.

The book is 111 pages in length with several black and white photos. Here's
a copy of the bookcover.

For those are interested, please advise if you'd like the book signed or inscribed.

I have a copy - it's a very interesting read, even moreso if you've ever collected E95 or E96 cards.
