Dave, thanks again for your help but something doesn't jive with my data, i.e., in August 1915 the E. K. Tryon Company of Phila was advertising UMC "New Club" empty paper shells at $9.00 per 1000 in 2-3/4 and 3" long hulls. Tryon's catalogue illustration of the empties definitely shows U.M.C. Co. and NEW CLUB on the headstamp.
