Vintage Baseball Ladies

on the NS sister site I believe we uncovered evidence by way of newspaper clippings that the Ginter women were paid actresses. I too believed they were most likely the employees/cigarette rolling girls - especially given the apparent porcine figures on them dames. The Duke presidential club examples superimposed the candidates head's on what was likely a retread from the same photographer - when I collected this tangent I was never able to match between the Duke and Ginter examples.
Tobacco companies spent a LOT of money on these promotions - maybe 2 cents of every nickle - they were not opposed to repurposing and re-issuing things. I DO believe that a contract for the black stocking nine was found.
