Title: 'Celebrated Reading Biscuits' poster, mid nineteenth century [Go to resource]
Description: Huntley & Palmers relationship with Reading was clearly demonstrated in 1892 when another bakery was set-up and named 'The Reading Biscuit Co'. Before this company had even made any biscuits, Huntley & Palmers sought an injunction to restrain the new firm from using Reading as a description of its biscuits. The Palmers collected a large number of affidavits from customers, including Harrods, who all submitted that Huntley & Palmers were known universally as Reading biscuits. The court granted Huntley & Palmers the injunction requested.
