Fredrich Missler (1858-1922) was the founder in 1881 of a travel agency in Bremen, Germany, that specialized in passage for emigrants to the United States, From 1865 to 1935, the company used the North German Lloyd Lines up until WW1, using Hoboken as its American home port.

    The text outside on the front and back states: F. Missler, Bremen (company name and city) Bahnhofstrasse 30.
