Description: | Peek Frean was established in 1857. Its first factory was in St Saviour's Dock, London. After a spectacular fire in 1872, which the Prince of Wales, later Edward VII, came to see, a new factory was built in Bermondsey nearby. Peek Frean was famous for its 'Pearl' and 'Pat-A-Cake' biscuits. In 1921 Peek Frean and Huntley & Palmers formed Associated Biscuits Manufacturers Ltd. From that point on the two companies negotiated together on issues like retailers percentages and some financial information. This advertisement shows how Peek Frean were quick to follow Huntley & Palmers' innovative use of highly decorative tins to sell their biscuits at Christmas, especially after Huntley, Boorne & Stevens' exclusive rights to the lithographic printing technology expired in 1889. The new tins featured here are Mosaic, Alaska, Fuchsia, Glen and Berry. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Peek Frean and Co. | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | tin | Temporal: | start=1898-01-01; end=1898-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
