Title: Delivery car in Manila, 1950s [Go to resource]
Description: As Huntley & Palmers export trade boomed the Far East became an important recipient of Huntley & Palmers global sales. By 1906 6.9% of Huntley & Palmers overseas trade was sent to Burma. However, in the aftermath of the Second World War, importing countries began to increase their import tariffs. This photograph shows how Huntley & Palmers Far East market extended beyond the confines of both the Empire and, later, the Commonwealth. During the 1930s Huntley & Palmers manufactured a luxury 'Philippines Biscuit', although the biscuits sold by this trader are simply catagorized as 'English Biscuits'.
