Thanks for showing those again Brian. You've posted them before, and I never get tired of seeing them--envious yes, tired no. You can even feel free to e-mail me hi-res scans if you like
 One thing I noticed is that each of yours seems to have light stamping on the back-- an "H" in one spot and what just might be part of the ampersand and letters like those from the Holmes & Son ad I posted. I am among the world's worst at photo-shopping and enhancing/contrasting images, but the Roush especially seems to have what could be read as "MES & SON" diagonally downward across the back. Maybe someone with the proper skills can get us a better look at that. If there is such a stamp, this would seem to confirm that the cards were redeemed. It also would appear that even if redeemed, they may have been stamped and returned to the customer.

Todd,
Thank You for your post. The scans are about as Hi-Res as I can get. As far as the "MES & SON" stamp that you refer to, I see the stamp in question, but I can't make it out to the point you are indicating.

There are some repro pics of vintage Holmes Bakery delivery trucks available for purchase on eBay:

Times ad that Todd showed. Val
