R311 National Chicle Salesman's Sample and Card Hanger
With a recent pickup I am not sure it adds light to how these cards were distributed but it's neat to see displays and chat about them etc....
I had the green little "insert looking" ad piece (on the right) for quite some time and have shown it before. This Salesman's Sample envelope came with a piece of cardboard, to hang on the wall, and to my surprise was identical to the one I already had with the white and green wrapping around it. I surmise that the little green and white wrapper came in the envelope, wrapped around the cardboard, to disburse the cards. I wonder if a salesman just dropped off the envelope at a retailer and went onto the next one? An early form of marketing....
