Description: | This is very interesting leaflet which shows Huntley & Palmers attempting to break into the Scandinavian market. It is difficult to date - the biscuits advertised inside seem to belong to the 1950s, if not earlier - however, we know that Huntley & Palmers attended the British Trade Fair in Stockholm in 1962. A photograph, also on the website, shows an employee at the company's exhibition stand there showing a pack of biscuits to a Swedish housewife. This leaflet may coincide with that event. Biscuits advertised inside are the Marie, the Digestive, Ginger Nuts, Cream Crackers, the Coronation, the Breakfast, Arctic Wafers and King Gustav's favourite - Cornish wafers ("en osockrad smorgaskex, synnerlingen delikat med ost"). | 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=1960-01-01; end=1962-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
