Notes: Checklist Incomplete. Highest number seen 128. These cards can be identified by the A Series written on the front. On the back, these cards contain a fortune on one side, "FOR CORRECT WEIGHT stand still..." on the other, and a space for a weight printout in the middle. These have also been seen with advertising backs for the following companies:
A. L. Duckwall
S. S. Kresge Co.
J. G. McCrory Company
McLellan Stores Co.
J. J. Newberry Co.
Walgreen Drug Stores
Exact year of issue not known. I have only studied a few of these cards so far, and they contained dates of 1929 to 1932 in the weight printout, so these cards must have been issued in 1929 or earlier.
These green tinted cards say "A SERIES." There is another Peerless set that is brown-tinted that says "Series A." I haven't seen enough of these to determine yet whether these are the same set or whether these are different sets.
