that's one of the brands owned by them. the company is based in Denmark, started in the lates 1880s.

if you are a collector of old stamps (straits settlements during the reigns of KEVII, GV, GVI) you may notice some of your stamps have little holes punched in them. if you see carefully they form alphabets, one of them is E.A.C.

wanna guess why they do this?
