In my previous two Threads comparing the Philadelphia A's players in the American Caramel Co. (ACC) sets (E90-type and E91)
with the T206 set, I mention that the owner of the ACC was Daniel Franklin Lafean. In 1900 he paid Milton Hershey a Million$ for
Hershey's Caramel product. Prior to starting ACC, Lafean was the Director of Gettysburg College......the school that Eddie Plank
went to and was their star pitcher. Furthermore, Lafean and Connie Mack were very close friends.

With ACC being located in Philadelphia, Lafean also was involved in Caramel production in Lancaster and York (PA), which are the
locations of several of the subsequent E-type sets.
