Title: New Biscuits Leaflet, around 1902 [Go to resource]
Description: A typical advertising sheet from the turn of the century. The biscuits listed as being new from this date are 'Arctic Wafers' ("admirably adapted for Summer use"), 'Cadet', 'Cavalier', 'Coronation', 'Colombia Cracker', 'Domino Wafers' and 'Philippine' ('A delicious soft eating biscuit, in the shape of an almond shell, filled with chocolate' - though aren't all biscuits 'eating' biscuits?!). The exquisite politeness of this advertisement, 'The attention of the public is respectfully requested to the following ...' may be overdone, but makes a pleasant contrast with the imperiousness of modern advertising.
