The "Moon Fairy" and "Diana" were USPC brands. Were they making them for USPC after the 1893 buyout? I have never seen a NCC version of these cards.

Arthur L. Hatch, salesman for Fox, Fultz & Co., comes from a good hustling family. His father before him was a top notch salesman in his particular line. Born of American parents in Brooklyn, near the close of the Civil War, he was educated in the Brooklyn public schools. His first connection with the trade was begun in the basement of a leading Broadway jobber, in whose employ he remained until a desirable offer was made to him by the Perfection Playing Card Company, which firm he represented for four years. He was afterwards with The National Playing Card Co., of Indianapolis, Ind. After a successful engagement with this firm he was one among the others who were frozen out to make room for the minor officials of the various playing card companies that went to make up what is now known as the Playing Card Trust. Not to be turned down, he visited some of the distributors of his line he formerly carried, and at the end of a brief period secured a position on trial as salesman for Fox, Fultz & Co., which firm he is still with, representing them successfully in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Maryland. In those States he is well-known to the drug trade. Mr. Hatch, all told, has had ten years of road life and has, in that time, visited trade from Maine to Texas. He is a sensible talker, has agreeable manners and is energetic in attending to his business duties. Being a hustler he is a young man who never lets night overtake him without accomplishing the best possible results for that day.
