Title/Subject:Ramleh vs Ramly: A 1908 Feud that Benefits Today’s Collectors
Abstract:A long-forgotten feud in 1908 pitted the Ramleh brand of the American Tobacco Co. against the "upstart" Ramly brand produced by the Mentor Co. of Boston. Vintage card collectors today are perhaps the prime beneficiaries of the feud, which is well documented in a series of period ads that ran in the San Francisco Chronicle.
