The advertisement of the Raffles hotel is interesting, insofar it has a Dutch text on top, advertising special cigarettes made of Dutch East Indies (DEI) tobacco, manufactured by Smits in Batavia, DEI, (now Djakarta, Indonesia) and Noordwijk (a coastal town in The Netherlands). Any idea why a Dutch text would appear in an English advertisement?
