From the listing

This is a vintage advertising postcard for Martin's, once known as the largest quality leather goods manufacturer in northern Mexico. Located at the entrance to Monterrey on the Laredo Highway, the business specialized in hand-tooled items including saddles, luggage, briefcases, shoes, and bags. The front of the card features a promotional offer for a free junior billfold and illustrations of hand-tooled leather work.

The reverse side of the card serves as a practical "Money Exchange" guide for travelers, showing conversions between Mexican Pesos and US Dollars at a rate of 12.50 to 1. It also features a small illustration of the Martin's factory building.

Condition: This item is in used vintage condition. There are notable blue ink markings/scribbles on the front side over the text and illustrations. The card shows some general age-related toning and edge wear. Please see photos for a detailed look at the condition.
