New info regarding the Hindu and Old Mill Southern Leaguers
It has long been thought that the southern league players were printed
with Hindu backs during the 150 series and that they were printed with Old Mill backs in the early printing of the 350 series but that might not be the case. The first known Hindu ad that showed pictures of but didn't mention southern leaguers ran on August 13 1909. img653.jpg The first known ad that mentioned the southern leaguers ran on August 23 1909. img654.jpg I recently discovered this Old Mill ad that ran for a week in a Tampa newspaper beginning on August 14 1909. img650.jpg It seems that Eli Witt was quite an entrepreneur who had ties with R.J. Reynolds. img651.jpgimg652.jpg Last edited by Pat R; 10-09-2018 at 11:38 PM. |
