"Made in Czechoslovakia"
A landscape leaflet page with six photographs of export goods (toys, glassware, leather goods, kitchenware, jewellery, cutlery) beside two short paragraphs. The tell for card-stacking is the selection of favourable claims ('world-famous', 'excellent quality') with no trade figures; the page makes no call to action.

Text on the object
“MADE IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA” The Czechoslovak export trade was world-famous for the variety and excellent quality of the goods delivered. Probably you remember some of these:—Czechoslovak glassware and china, gloves and toys, cutlery and jewellery,—and, of course, Pilsen beer ! 12
