Title: Jacob's Illustrated Export List, 1973 [Go to resource]
Description: Price Lists were introduced in the 1870s and detailed the full list of biscuits with their wholesale prices. Whilst it was common to decorate the front sheet with images of the purveyors biscuit factory, the price lists were essentially plain documents and, unlike the Christmas catalogues, did not contain images of the fancy biscuit tins. The Jacobs family were originally bakers from Waterford in Ireland. They began biscuit making in 1839 and, in 1914, opened a factory in Aintree, Liverpool. They became famous for their 'Cream Crackers' for which they are still known today. In 1969 Jacobs, Huntley & Palmers and Peek Frean formally merged to form Associated Biscuits Ltd.
