Description: | These scales were used in the North Cheam and Whetstone branch of Woolworth's for weighing sweets. When Woolworth's first tried self-service for confectionary in 1953, it intended to stop selling pic'n'mix sweets, offering pre-packed bags instead. This did not catch on and the idea was dropped. In 1958 the company launched the pic'n'mix counter, which formed the basic design for the smaller stores for the next 30 years. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | work Leisure | Temporal: | 1953-1958 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
