Semi-Smokeless?

Was this common manufacturers advertising jargon?.   Or was there a transition between (bp) gun powder and smokeless powder?

Those Peters cartridges were made with King's Semi-Smokeless Powder, which was an early form of BP substitute.  

The powder mill was located between Cincinnati, OH and Miamisburg, at a place called King's Mill.

It was where Kings Island Amusemant Park now stands.

Okay, so not a duplex or combo propellant.  

Just an early BP substitute.

Thanks y’all.
