Bringing our celebration of Christmas cards to a close we have this amazing four sided Christmas card which was issued by “The Editor, Cigarette Card News”.
However this is not the only version of this card, for it also exists with the same front but printed with “From The Directors of London Cigarette Card Co. Ltd.”
I once believed that these were printed specially for them, but over the years I have been proved wrong and have noted down a couple more, including Splintex Ltd, which was set up in the late 1920s to make safety glass for cars,, aeroplanes and other modes of transport; and L.Silberston & Sons, who were founded in 1899 and made military clothing, mostly in cloth and wool.
Trust me to find the military and transport ones!
Anyway I have not managed to find a link between either of those and the LCCC. So was this a commercial issue, and the LCCC just bought in on it?
