Yosma

Yosma Zigarettenfabrik Bremen. Produced Alva brand cigarettes. Köberich (1997) lists Yosma cigarettes under Brinkmann and Ciolina (Reklamebilder) also refers to cards with the "Yosma" name on as being from Brinkmann. However the Cartophilic Society lists them separately and the two companies do seem to be distinct in so far as some sets (see e.g. Auf deutscher Scholle) exist in both versions. I hope to clarify the matter one day. For the moment, I will list the two companies separately as the two names exist separately, even if the companies were somehow related. I'm not sure however whether the embroideries and playing cards are Brinkmann or Yosma.
