Ganzsachen.
In the middle of March, the Exhibition management published a private postcard in red print with a 10 Pf. stamp, the same as Michel # 200 of the 1924 air mail stamp series. The text unter the promotion design was in three languages and also in red ink. This card could be purchased for twice its face value, or 20 Pf. In the Michel Ganzsachen Catalog, it is listed as 'PP-1'. Also available was an identical type in blue, but without the stamp impression.
