My theory stems from this court case, filed on January 4, 1912.....

PEOPLE'S TOBACCO CO., Limited v. AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.

Argued Jan. 4-7, 1918
Decided March 4, 1918


It appears to be a very complicated case that dragged out for many years, shortly after ATC was disolved in Dec. 1911.
And, I think because it dragged out for many years, it must of limited the production of these three Louisiana T-brands
and the production (or lack of) their T216 cards.

The answer to your last question is that all my cards, that I have posted here, are all E-type cards, whose fronts are
the same as their T216 counterparts.
