Exact printing year unknown – in regard of the indicated prices very likely one of the earliest of the numerous versions, around 1935; Burger Söhne launched the Rössli cheroots (a Rössli is a small horse, not a foal) – meanwhile somewhat of a Swiss cultural asset – in 1933, what gave the tobacco company a strong burst of growth.
