Though the American Card Catalog refers to this issue as "W575-1" with a Henry Johnson Confectioners stamp on the back, and grading companies perversely refer to these obviously machine-cut cards as "hand cut," the Henry Johnson Confectioners cards are a set all their own, a scarce back stamp on the reverse of what are actually blank-backed cards with a checklist that mirrors the E121 American Caramel "Series of 80" set.

Kid Gleason, bat in Hand, is captured on the Henry Johnson Confectioners card seen here.  The only example in the PSA database, this VG 3 card is a nice one, with really just some honest corner wear seen on the front,  The image of Gleason is strong and the card remains white.  The manufacturer's stamp is seen on the reverse, with has a little foxing along the bottom of a hand cut card.
