I agree...because of this thread the vast majority of us know more about this set, and now we have convincing evidence on how these cards were distributed (those boy suits must have been butt ugly). To the logical mind knowledge is always a good thing. So thank you Brian for setting the wheels in motion.

Brian,

Now, in 2034 a boy's suit from Herpolsheimer's with a tag on the neck on the inside of the back identifying Herpolsheimer's will be found with, believe it or not, Herpolsheimer cards in the moth holed breast pocket. Amazingly, the cards, which will be of different levels of wear will be collectible. A miracle! To summarize the finding:

These are all fake! I can prove it.

So my Great Grandfather was Arthur Slugworth. He owned a competing boys suit company around the corner on 6th and Racine called Slugworth Inc. He wanted to steal business away from Herpolsheimers and had those cards made without the address on the back. He placed the ads in the local papers and when customers came looking to buy a boys suit and get the cards he would pop out from behind the Herpolsheimer display and whisper in their ears to meet him around the corner at his Slugworth Inc. store. He successfully sold 133 boys suits in this way which led to the downfall and eventual bankruptcy of Herpolcheimers.
