Koenigsegg wrote "apres Oge" in the lower right margin. While this might be the artist and designer Eugene Oge, no similar images have been found, and it's unclear which company the advertisement was for. Loosely translated, the text reads: "For cooking and baking / Wheat Flour / Superior Quality Semolina Flour / Sold only in sealed packages in all grocery stores. Insist on the brand."
