Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 16 cards issued in Canada by the Cowan Confectionery Company of Stirling Road Toronto Ontario Canada. One was inserted into each package of their Cowan’s Chocolate and Cocoa . They are listed as series V11 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “CANADIAN FOREST TREES”. Although no guide that I am aware of gives a definite date of issue for this series it is generally assumed to have been in the 1920’s era possible earlier. The front of each card features an image of the tree leaf, and seed. The Back of the card features a brief description of the tree and its environment. It also mentions these were issued to help boy scouts and trail ranger and girl scout identify trees in nature. This card is number 5 in the series and features the PAPER BIRCH. The Card measures 5 3/8 inches by 2 1/4 inches approximately. The card does have some creasing and wear. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. or UK Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US and UK, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American and British Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA). I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
