A New Zealand fuel and oil company, Big Tree, issued a series of cards carrying adverts on the reverse of the cards that took the form of anecdotes and rhymes appropriate to the company and the image of the front of the card. The advert, below, is taken from the reverse of the RPS Series card #1058, 'Say When', and although most of the cards came from the RPS Series several also came from the Valentines Bonzo cards as well as the Motor Emotion series where the advertisement appeared as part of the main design and advised Big Tree for Big Mileage.

There has been some 'artistic licence' used here where the pram, as well as the clothes on the lady and the boy, have been brought up to date from the original which dated from around 1907.
