Notes: There are 52 cards in this deck plus 1 Joker plus 1 information card. The information card tells a little about the deck, plus gives ordering instructions for more decks. The deck I have seen came in a separate leather holder, which says "Compliments of The Worrell Mfg. Co., St. Louis, MO. Vermingo Insecticides and Disinfectants." This indicates the deck was a free giveaway to their customers, and may have been similarly given out by other companies.
Date research: I don't know the exact date these were issued, but the Dorothy Dalton card contains a facsimile signature which she has signed with a date of 1919, dating these cards no earlier than that. The stars shown on these cards dates the deck to the early 1920s.
