TIDDLEDY WINKS

The 1919 and 1920 McLoughlin Bros. Inc. Order Lists include No. 6320 as the new number (for the old number of 7738) of "No. 1 Bone Chips (G)" listed under "Tiddledy Winks" on page 10. The 1918 Order List still lists the original number, 7738, only. McLoughlin Bros. was incorporated in either 1916 or 1917, since the 1916 Order List (at the American Antiquarian Society) does not show "Inc.", whereas the 1917 Order List does include "Inc."
