Thanks Joe, and don't eat too much turkey today!
Some random thoughts and observations. Last summer as I was heading down Interstate 95 heading for Wrightsville Beach, much to my surprise, I crossed over Contentnea Creek near Wilson, North Carolina. I was wondering if anyone knows where Factory 12, 4th district, N.C. was (or is) located? That's the factory where Contentnea cigarettes were produced. By the way, I did discover that the word Contentnea is an old Tuscaroran (Iroqouis) name for "fish passing by"

Martin,
I believe the factory was indeed somewhere in Wilson, NC. Jon's image of the cigarette pack shows the trademark of the manufacturer - a shield with the letters EN TC. EN TC stands for Erwin Nadal Tobacco Company, which was located in Wilson, but that's as much as I've ever been able to find out.

Interestingly enough, Carolina Brights were also produced in Wilson, NC

There is a railroad intersection just south of Wilson called Contentnea Junction. Sounds like a nice little sidetrip next time I pass that way. Who knows, maybe the factory is still there.

additionally
There was also a booklet put out circa 1910 by the Nadal tobacco co. with illustrations of most but not all of the players. I had the opportunity to see it this summer at the National
