A Google Translate effort from another site:
Quote:
The transport of postal parcels within Paris was provided by three successive concessionary services.
- The Compagnie Générale des Trsnports Parisiens par le Materiel des Omnibus, created on October 17, 1878
- The Company of National Messengers. Its first stamp was issued in 1886.
- The Paris Postal Parcel Service for Paris, created on September 1, 1890.
The stamps were divided into three parts:
- on the left: the stub, had to be given to the recipient
- in the middle: the receipt, had to be kept by the sender
- on the right, the stamp, it materialized the postage and possible additional costs

Further additions:
Maury lists these as
timbre à taxe réduite pour colis réclame and yours are ##49-51, from 1919. You have a full set of the major numbers. There is also a rose version of #50, catalogued as #50a. (The 3-part reference, above, does not apply to your stamps.)

I'll be back together with my Yvert in the morning and I'll see if there is anything else of interest to add.
