Set of 8 French bills of exchange of a shoe factory from 1950s with tax stamps and rubber-stamps.

Note that several bills of exchange have a hole in the lower left corner: these bills of exchange had to be stapled to the corresponding bills and had to be detached more or less cleanly once the customer had paid the expected amount.
