The most prominent issuer of Arcade Cards was the Exhibit Supply Company out of Chicago, followed by the International Mutoscope Reel Company, whose cards are popularly referred to simply as Mutoscopes. Mutoscope was eventually absorbed by the Exhibit Co. sometime in the late 1940's-early 1950's. Arcade Cards seem to have originated during the 1910's period.
