Blatz Gum is the second gum company credited with issuing cards for the 1933 Chicago's World's Fair known as the Century of Progress. They issued a (32) card set. The set can be found with the Blatz advertising on the back or in (16) card small folios akin to the mini postcards that were popular in the same timeframe. Two folios made up the same (32) card set and can be found a little easier than the Blatz-backed cards.
(15) of the cards in this (32) card set are from the Blatz Gum series including the following numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 20, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29 and 30. The remainder of the (17) cards in the set are of the no advertising type but someone has typed No. ## on the back of each of the cards that were missing numbers. The cards are overall about VGEX condition and mostly clean.
