American Lithographic printed many sheets of them. They were originally destined to be shipped to Factory #30 in New York. The anticipated divestiture of American
Tobacco Co. (circa 1911) transferred Sweet Caporal cigarette production to Durham, NC (Factory #42). Federal law required the back advertisements on these cards
be overprinted with "Factory #42".
I don't consider these cards as "scraps"......these cards are legit......just never issued.

Hi Ted,

I wasn't questioning the tax stamp laws, I was just expressing my opinion whether the factory 30 no prints/non released subjects were effected by the
factory # stamp requirement. In my opinion based on the fact that subjects found with the factory 30 were printed after the no print/non released subjects
I don't think this is the reason behind these no print/non released cards.
