Title: Catalogue page, late 1940s [Go to resource]
Description: The illustrated case is packed with half and quarter pound greaseproof packets of biscuits. From 1942 Huntley & Palmers' export trade had been almost non-existent due to rationing and wartime restrictions. In 1945 exports accounted for less than 5% of the company's turnover. After the Second World War biscuit exports were restricted to 'sponsored markets', arranged by the governments concerned. It wasn't until 1947 that the British government lifted restrictions on Huntley & Palmers exports.
