ms231sm.jpg (2445 bytes) MS231-This real photo is a scarce advertising issue for a French postcard company. Note the woman is seated with a postcard album and you see both some cards in the album and the advertising for the "Croissant" logo.  The name of company and address are at top.   This card is not printed with a postcard back (plain) obviously because it was handed out by the salesman whose name appears at bottom front.  In effect, it was used as a trade card.
