Vintage Advertising Cards

Most of the advertising cards in my collection are from the end of the Victorian era of about 1900. Those were the simple days, before a company had to learn how to advertise with Google, long before the advent of the Google Adwords Professional, but they did have direct mail advertising. That type of advertising is what these advertising cards was all about.
