    The early part of the 20th century was the heyday of printing and the United States Playing Card Company published many great decks for various companies which advertised the company’s products. They almost always had a special back design as well as an advertising Ace of Spades and a related Joker. Rarely were the Jokers in color.

    Many of the products are long gone but I thought you might enjoy this slight glimpse into the past.
