Title: Palmer family tree, 1962 [Go to resource]
Description: The Palmer family tree shows how every generation worked for the firm and became directors. It wasn't until the family sold the business to Nabisco in 1982 that the family ties with the firm were finally cut. The male members of each new generation would serve an apprenticeship before becoming a partner. For example George Palmers' sons, George William and Alfred, joined at sixteen as unpaid clerks. In 1873 they were responsible for supervising the company's display stand at the Vienna Exhibition. George was so impressed by their work that both were admitted as partners in 1874.
