the Spring/Summer of 1910. The same was true with another stylistic back design during the 350-only Series (CAROLINA BRIGHTS).
 
Furthermore,
This information is derived from an ATC journal regarding the May 1911 DIVESTURE ACT, which broke up American Tobacco Company's
monopoly.
Liggett & Myers was given about 28 per cent of the cigarette market:
Piedmont
Fatima
American Beauty
Home Run
Imperiales
COUPON
King Bee
Fatima
P. Lorillard received 15 per cent of the nation's business:
Helmar
Egyptian Deities
Turkish Trophies
Murad
Mogul
and all straight Turkish brands
American Tobacco retained 37 per cent of the market:
Pall Mall
Sweet Caporal
Hassan
Mecca
Note that the COUPON brand is assigned to L & M.....proving to us that it was in the marketplace during 1910.
Newspaper clippings (circa 1909) exist which inform us this new ATC brand was being introduced.
THAT'S ALL FOLKS, CASE IS CLOSED !

T206 Reference

How does any of this prove the t213-1's were printed in1910?
In a previous thread about them you and Jeremy both claimed the 1910 date came from a newspaper ad and that Jeremy had the ad.
After days of saying he was going to dig out the ad he admitted he had mistaken it for an Old Mill or Hindu ad.
I have two questions for you. Have you looked at the ALC journal?
If the t213-1's were printed with the t206's why aren't they in the journal?
