Notes: Suzanna was a 1922 movie starring Mabel Normand. There was an album issued with this set. The album measures 12 7/8" wide, 8 1/16" tall.

Two different Canadian backs have been seen for this set, one for Telfer Biscuits and the other for Patterson Candy. Both companies are Canadian. It looks like these sets were probably issued simultaneously by these two companies. This set was also issued by Shotwell Mfg. in the USA.

A special album was issued with this set. The pages of this album were black and about the same texture as construction paper. Cards from this set are sometimes found with black paper stuck to the backs - obviously these cards were removed from their special album at some point.
