Great discovery! Thanks for sharing!! The double exclamation point is to show that punctuation marks are making a come-back! They are not quite as important as letters and numbers, but they are certainly gaining in popularity. Without them, how would I have made this beautiful emoticon?

Thanks again guys. I now have seen ads for all ten series of 20 cards except the first. The “sets” of 20 were doled out on consecutive Saturdays from April 22 through June 24, 1916. The first three were given away free to kids who just showed up at the Fourth Floor Boy’s Clothing Department, which might explain in part why almost all of the known surviving examples are found in Series 2. A purchase of any kind in the Boys Department was required to obtain Series 4 and all series thereafter, with the “complete set of 200 photographs given with every $5 suit”. A sample card was shown in the ads for 7 of the 9 series I saw, as follows:
Series 1: ? Series 2: Evers (although he’s a series 3 card) Series 3: none Series 4: Huggins Series 5: WaJo Series 6: none Series 7: Paskert Series 8: Schalk Series 9: Tinker Series 10: Wagner Here's the store, which matches up with postcards depicting its predecessor and a successor, although I have not seen a postcard of the Everybody's store while it bore that name.

Huge tip of the hat Jason!!!! Boy do I feel like I wasted several hours for nothing. I read net54 a dozen times a day and somehow missed/forgot about your thread entirely (obviously). Must have been in trial for some time. Anyway, feel free to pm or post any additional info you discovered. An interesting store. Was only around for 2 years, sponsored a baseball team in the town's six-team commercial league, took out large ads and seemed to be a player, then going out of business ads start running and lease expires and "poof" by the beginning of 1917. Oh well, full credit where due. Now tell me if you did similar research on the other m101 sets, so I don't reinvent the wheel. BTW, I just learned that the Globe clothing store was not in Missouri as I once thought and was reported in 2008, or if it was, then there was another one. Will post that shortly unless someone gives me a head's up that it's already been done.
