spic and span
I talked to my father about Spic and Span cards (they released them from '53 through '60) and he said that the cards would be placed in with your dry cleaning order. Pick up a shirt and in the bag would be a card. Their clothing covers also had baseball players on them as well.

Wisco Gas and Spic and Spans
Another interesting note. My father gave me a set of cards from '53, he thought were Spic and Spans. Upon further research, they are actually Wisco Gas cards. They look identical to the '53 Spic and Spans but they do not have the Spic and Span logo on them. Wisco gas stations were only located in Milwaukee, Madison and Racine. I'm not sure how widespread the Spic and Spans were distributed, but I'm guessing based on scarcity, that the Spic and Spans were in a much narrower distribution range than Johnston Cookies.

Ok, after looking closer, I now can see the print at the bottom of the cards. "Olson Publishing" and "Spic and Span Dry Cleaning." Now, after all these years, I realize the latter was actually a local business that had nothing to do with the nationally distributed cleaning powder. And it appears that Olson was just putting the names of different companies on the cards, like the dry cleaners and Wisco? Interesting.

Considering how long ago I was a Milwaukee Braves fan, and how long I was a collector of Braves' regionals, I had never before seen one of those dry cleaning covers. It was a steal at that price.
