"COUNTER" CARDS
Back View - Examples
There's considerable variety in the
advertising text on the backs of the cards in this
grouping. There are five major types, with minor
variations on two of them. In addition, Arbuckles'
message isn't always printed on a blank back. Specific
examples of these "overprints" are shown with
the individual cards that have them.
