According to Wikipedia:
Aarhus Privatbank A/S was a Danish bank in Aarhus , founded in 1871 . Aarhuus Privatbank took over Hammel Bank in 1929 , Odder Bank in 1932 and the Savings and Loan Bank for Industridriverde in Aarhus and in 1934 Aarhus Bikube . During its lifetime, Aarhus Privatbank became the province's largest bank and in 1921 had achieved a share capital of DKK 9 million DKK and a turnover of DKK 2½ billion DKK.
The bank was founded on 14 August 1871 by mayor Ulrich Christian von Schmidten , chief prosecutor Christian Ludvig Kier , chancellor O.H. Nors and merchant IC Seidelin , merchant H. Meyer, merchant MR Koppel, merchant PI Hahn and merchant Harald Skovby . The initiative for the first orientation meeting about the bank's foundation, which was held on 2 June 1871, came from Consul General Henrik Pontoppidan, who, however, did not want to join the committee which had to prepare the new banking institution's business, and whose members are mentioned above. The bank began its operations on 1 December 1871 in rented premises at Rosensgade no. 32.
The first board consisted of the aforementioned IC Seidelin, who was managing director , OH Nors and Harald Skovby. In 1873, the share capital was increased to 300,000 Rdl . and the bank was moved in April to Store Torv no. 3, and on 26 September 1887 it was moved to its own property at Kannikegade 4-6 at Bispetorvet , where it has since been housed. This building was historic and designed by Carl Thonning . It was expanded by Hack Kampmann 1905 and replaced by a new building designed by Axel Høeg-Hansen 1931 - 32, so that it occupied half the square Kannikegade/Harald Skovbys Gade/ Åboulevarden . In 1927, the bank got a branch in Copenhagen , which was first located on Højbro Plads , and which in 1930 got its own building on Nygade 1, the corner of Vimmelskaftet , designed by architect Holger Jacobsen . The building is in art deco style. In 1950 , in addition to the head office, the bank had 4 inner-city branches and 17 out-of-town branches and offices.
The bank's 95th and last financial year was 1966, after which in 1967 it merged with Fyens Disconto Kasse and formed Den Danske Provinsbank .

Aarhuus Stiftstidende
According to Wikipedia:
Århus Stiftstidende (colloquially Stiften) is a Danish newspaper based in Århus, Denmark, focusing largely on local topics.
First published by Niels Lund on 3 January 1794, Århus Stiftstidende is among the oldest businesses in Denmark still in operation. It originated as part of the Stiftstidende dailies; with two other Stiftstidende newspapers published in Aalborg - Aalborg Stiftstidende founded in 1767 -, and Odense - Fyens Stiftstidende started in 1772. Until 1927, the publishing company of Aarhuus Stiftsbogtrykkerie owned and published the paper. Between 1918 and 1952, Louis Schmidt served as the editor-in-chief.
Århus Stifstidende serves for Jutland. The paper has no official political affiliation, but has a liberal political leaning. It is published in broadsheet format. On 1 January 2007, Århus Stifstidende merged with other local newspapers in Midtjylland to form the editorial company of Midtjyske Medier, then a branch of Berlingske Media. In late 2015, Midtjyske Medier was sold and fused with Jysk Fynske Medier, the second largest media group in Denmark by turnover.
SPELLING NOTE: In the context of the stamps, Aarhuus has been spelled the "old way", conforming to the spelling used on the stamps.
In modern Danish, the current spelling Århus is commonly seen.

Although it would appear that the company used Albion as a registered trademark (indr. varemærke), I could find no record of the company actually registering that name.
I could also find no online references to the company, but I did find an advertisement attached to their business listing in the 1920 edition of Kraks Vejviser. I imagine that there are other contemporary advertisements that exist.
P. Albrechtsen
Herreekvipering og Skrædderi (Men's Haberdashery and Tailoring)
According to Knud Bokkenhauser in Danmarks hovedstad København:
"The company P. Albrechtsen & Co., Vesterbrogade 10, which belongs to our country's leading companies within the men's clothing, was founded by P. Albrechtsen in the same property where the company is still located. The business, which has repeatedly expanded considerably, now appears in a modern and appealing shape with premises on two floors. It includes men's lingerie and tailoring as well as men's equipment. The company's specialty is clothing and uniforms made to measure."
The company first appears in Krak's Vejviser (business directory) in 1914, and the last entry is in 1937.

The image shown on the stamp, as well as in company advertising, depicts the Liberty Memorial in København.
According to Wikipedia:
The Liberty Memorial (Danish: Frihedsstøtten), located in front of Central Station in Copenhagen, Denmark, is a 20 meter tall obelisque erected in memory of the peasant reforms in 1788 which led to the abolition of serfdom (Danish: Stavnsbåndet).

Carl Allers Etablissement A/S
Carl Aller (1845 - 1926) began his career in the printing industry when he apprenticed as a lithographer in C. F. Aamodt's studio in København (Copenhagen).
At an early age, Aller invented a new photolithographic method of image production. In 1869, he was awarded the Ørsted Grant for his invention.
Together with his wife, Laura Aller, he founded Carl Aller's Etablissement in 1873, and in 1874 they began the publication of Nordisk Mønster Tidende (later Femina).
In 1877, they launched a new magazine Illustreret Familie Journal (Illustrated Family Journal), with Laura Aller as editor-in-chief. The magazine experienced immediate success, partly due to the high quality of its illustrations. Aller improved printing techniques by transferring them to a lithographic stone and was for a long time the only publisher in Denmark to offer illustrations in nine colors. The company expanded fast, both through organic growth and acquisitions of numerous other printing businesses.
Swedish Aller (Svenska Aller AB) was founded in 1894 and Norwegian Aller (Norsk Aller A/S) in 1897, both under the leadership of one of Carl and Laura Aller's sons.
In 1900, Carl Aller also bought Bianco Luno's Bogtrykkeri, founded in 1832.
In 1930, Carl Allers Etablissement was transformed into a joint stock company with Axel Aller and Vald. Aller as a board member and chief executive officer.
In 1939 CAE A/S began publication of Det Ny Radioblad (The New Radio Magazine). In 1953 it began to cover the then new medium of television and changed its name to Se og Hør, retaining the old name as a subtitle.
The company is now known as Aller A/S, and is the parent to several other companies. According to the Aller website:
"Aller Media A/S is market leading within magazines and weeklies in Denmark with publications such as BILLED-BLADET, SE og HØR, Familie Journal, femina, ELLE, SPIS BEDRE, Vi Unge, Mad & Bolig and many more. Aller Media A/S also owns the event agency ALIVE and content agencies which are a part of Ahead Group.
Aller Tryk A/S is specialised in the printing of weeklies, magazines, catalogues, and advertising prints and has Aller Media in Denmark and Sweden as its largest customers.
Aller Leisure A/S owns and manages the travel agencies Nyhavn Rejser A/S, Kulturrejser-Europa A/S, Nilles Rejser A/S, Aller Travel AS, Gislev Rejser A/S, Aller Flight A/S, Stjernegaard Rejser A/S, and Zen Luxury Travel."

The poster stamps issued by CAE (Carl Aller's Etablissement) comprise a complicated series. There are 36 different designs in the series, and most of them represent various parts of the company which is now known as Aller Media. The exceptions are three stamps which appear to represent "public service" messages, and one stamp (Carl Larsens Boghandel) that advertises a book dealer who probably was one of the main outlets for much of CAE's printed output. The 36 stamps, and information about them, can be found by clicking HERE. |

The text referred to a series of annual children's Christmas books created by printer Alfred Jacobsen in 1887,
and published later by Chr. Erichsens Forlag, until 1934.
Some of the Børnenes Julegave 1913 poster stamps use designs already used by advertisers on poster stamps,
and some are only known as part of this series.
There are (at least) 24 different stamps in this series, and they were probably printed by Jacobsen.

Mathias M. Andersen & Co.
Cooking supplies and other household goods.
In 1911, Anders Peter Baunsgaard (1874-1957) and his wife moved to Aarhus. Here he took over the languishing colonial-wholesale company Mathias M. Andersen & Co , which was originally founded in 1884. The company was located at Mejlgade 68 and at Kystvejen 39. Here he eventually created a well-functioning company. Baunsgaard also bought Fengers Realskole in 1917 , which was then converted into a factory. Before buying the high school, he had otherwise taken care of the wholesale business, but after the purchase he focused more and more on the housewife's needs, so he then focused on the production of pudding powder, essences and baking powder, but he also sold soaps, paints and varnishes.

Andreasen & Lachmann
Andreasen & Lachmann was a premier printing establishment in Denmark from 1911 to 1958. They printed thousands of posters and poster stamps, often employing some of the best Danish graphic artists of the 20th century.
According to Wikipedia:
"Andreasen & Lachmann was a Danish stone printing/ lithographic establishment founded on 1 July 1911 and closed in 1958 .
As early as 1912, Sven Brasch produced an advertising poster for the company, which later became a leader in poster production , and which raised the artistic quality of the Danish advertising poster .
The company was founded in 1911 by lithographer Carl Andreasen (1867-1946) and wholesaler Julius Lachmann (1883-1920). The latter had previously been operations manager at the large printing company Sophus Kruckow , where he was the prime mover. Together with Julius Lachmann, Carl Andreasen established the company at Hestemøllestræde 6 in Copenhagen with four printing machines and 30 employees.
In 1912, the company published the informative printed matter Hvad er Litografi , thereby drawing attention to the use of mass-produced, artistic street posters as effective marketing. A large number of well-known poster artists have worked with Andreasen & Lachmann; Among other things, Ib Andersen , Sikker Hansen and Poul Gernes . Verner Permild was trained at the company."
Although they printed thousand of different poster stamps - the ones shown here were strictly issued as advertising for themselves.

This design is the first "numbered" poster stamp printed by the firm Andreasen & Lachmann, which rose to fame as the premier publisher of poster stamps in Denmark.
The design established the company's logo -
the letters "A&L" in a diamond surrounded by a silver (grey) and white checkerboard pattern.
The first version of this stamp used gold squares in the background pattern, and the stamp had a backprint.
The issued version used silver squares and no backprint, and was issued in sheets of 10 stamps with descriptive text in the margins.
The issued version, with silver squares, is also known imperforated - probably proofs.
This stamp was published in an issue size of 80,000 copies, much higher than the normal issue size.

This stamp was printed in miniature sheets of 10 - consisting of 6 poster stamps and 4 labels. The sheets were printed at the Andreasen & Lachmann exhibit at the 1914 Baltic Exposition held in Malmö, Sweden in 1914. The sheets had backprints on the backs of the stamps, but not the labels, and the backprints have been seen in different colors. The stamps also exist without any backprint.

The following stamps are something of a mystery. They have not been documented anywhere previously, but they are undoubtedly promoting the firm of Andreasen & Lachmann. The first six vertical stamps appear to be a cohesive set extolling the positive aspects of having poster stamps printed by Andreasen & Lachmann.

|
|
"Issue size only 25 Thousand"
|
"Gum arabic - Mmmm"
(comparing the flavor to champagne) |
"Crazy for Collectors stamps"
|
|
|
|
|
"3 Generations"
|
"The stork comes for the 4th time"
|
"Gold & Glory (by the) Year 1939"
|
All six stamps have designs measuring approximately 45 x 63-64 mm. They are gummed, with no backprinting.
This stamp depicts Carl Albert Andreasen and his wife Olivia (nee Andersson) on the occasion of their 25th wedding anniversary, November 2, 1914.
This was probably strictly a vanity project, but it is unknown if it was commissioned by Carl, or if it was an anniversary gift created by the A&L staff. The only example I have seen was mounted in an Andreasen & Lachmann poster stamp album along with the six stamps above. |
This stamp is similar in appearance and size to the other 7 stamps shown in this section. The text on this stamp refers to A&L's trip (as an exhibitor) to the Baltic Exhibition in Malmö, Sweden in 1914.
The design of the stamp mimics the official exhibition poster created by Swedish artist Ernst Norlind. |

A/S Arbejdernes Fællesbageri
Literally "Workers Community Bakery" this is one of many such named bakeries around Denmark. This particular one was founded around 1922, and was located at Grønnegade 35, in Nykøbing F., which is the city of Nykøbing on the island of Falster.
According to Wikipedia:
Under names such as Vitana, Fultana, Sitana, Nutana and Rutana, the worker-run cooperatives ensured that the workers got cheap and good rye bread to eat. Similar initiatives were subsequently taken in other cities in the country for the benefit of the workers, who were otherwise forced to buy expensive bread on the free market.
The many bakeries joined together in De Sammesluttede Fællesbakeries (which was later dubbed the Rutana Association), which in 1941 included a total of 39 communal bakeries. But in 1970 there were only 25 joint bakeries left in the association and in the period from 1978 to 1984 the decline was severe and almost all the bakeries were closed down.

Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker A/S
Tobacco Company.
According to Wikipedia:
Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker ("Christian Augustinus Industries") is a former Danish tobacco company which now serves as the investment company of the Augustinus Foundation.
The company was founded by Ole Augustinus on 11 May 1750 when he established a tobacco factory on Frederiksborggade. A new building at Vestergade 8 was inaugurated in the 1770s. Augustinus' three sons were all active in the venture. The eldest of them, Christian Augustinus, from whom it later took its name, took over the operations after their father's death in 1779. The building in Vestergade was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795 but the current building at the site was completed a few years later.
A new tobacco factory on Gammel Kongevej in Frederiksberg was inaugurated in 1870.
The company established a tobacco factory at Gullandsgade on Amager in 1914. The company later changed its name to Chr. Augustinus after it had been taken over by Ole Augustinus' son Christian Augustinus.
In 1919, Christian Augustinus established De Danske Cigar- & Tobaksfabrikker ("The Danish Cigar and Tobacco Factories") in a partnership with E. Nobel and A/S Horwitz & Kattentid but the company was changed to Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker after A/S Horwitz & Kattentid was bought out in 1933 and E. Nobel was bought out in 1938 although A/S De Danske Cigar- & Tobaksfabrikker was kept as a secondary name. The company acquired A/S Horwitz & Kattentid in 1949.
The Augustinus Foundation was established in 1942 at the initiative of Ludvig Augustinus. In 1861 Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker merged its tobacco-related activities with those of C.W. Obel and R. Færchs Fabrikker under the name Skandinavisk Tobakskompagni.
