Knorr Suppen. ca. 1934.
Knorr is, to this day, one of the largest German companies that produce bouillon cubes, soup mix, and similar products. "Cappiello skillfully demonstrates that from a packet of Knorr condensed soup you can prepare a minimum of three bowls—perhaps even four—all for 15 pfennigs. It's not clear if the initials 'DS' at bottom left refer to Damour or some other agency" (Cappiello/Rennert, p. 319).
