A half set of adverting labels for Kubelfabrik Fischer who made bearings, originaly for bicycles and later cars. Looks like they were issued for their 30th anniversary of the firm. They seem to be making a claim that their bearings enabled a car to travel 80,000 km across N. America all sorts of terrains and weather.
The stamps were issued in sheets of 12, and these are from series 2
