Title: Advertising sheet, probably 1890s [Go to resource]
Description: From ealiest days Huntley & Palmers were alert not just to technological developments that would aid biscuit production, but also cultural changes, such as the growth of advertising, which helped increase sales. This leaflet is a good example of late nineteenth century advertsing - there are no pictures or jingles - instead it primarily conveys information like the names of new products and their ingredients. The tone is polite and respectful - "The attention of the Public is respectfully requested to the following New Biscuits..." - rather than the urgent, hectoring sloganizing of contemporary adverts.
