No, there are also cdv's known with a Peck and Snyder advertisement on the back. They advertise the the sale of these cdv's in bulk - $.75/12 or $5/100.

I have always found it easiest to differentiate the cards by calling the larger Peck and Snyders "Trade Cards" and the referring to cdv's as just "cdv's."

From talking with several photograph experts, they feel that the cdv's pre-date the larger trade cards. This theory is also backed up with the fact that the cdv has an "Ann St." address for Peck and Snyder while the trade cards have a "Nassau St." address which was their later location.
