Description: | The inside pages advertise 'Assorted Wafers', 'Cream Cheese Assorted', 'Sweet Assorted', 'Rehal', 'Sugarcake' and 'Digestive' biscuits. The back page features 'Carnival Assorted', 'American Beauty' ("A delightful package containing an assortment with all the attractiveness of the label which portrays a beautiful woman and beautiful flowers") and 'Cream Crackers'. The text on the front page makes the usual point about the high quality of Huntley & Palmers biscuits in delightfully obsequious prose - "These biscuits are really different, different INDIVIDUALLY, and vastly DIFFERENT to any others. In ENGLAND and throughout the world they are the HALLMARK of good taste, and a silent indication of DISCERNMENT. MOREOVER they are a subtle Compliment to the GUEST, for whom nothing but the BEST is GOOD ENOUGH. The BEST GROCERS in the country stock them, among whom is YOUR OWN MERCHANT." | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | social history trade advertising | Temporal: | start=1928-01-01; end=1928-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
