Title: Shipment Notice, Second World War [Go to resource]
Description: From 1942 the factory produced only 20 biscuit varieties and later that year biscuits were rationed. The rationing scheme encouraged people to buy quality biscuits to obtain 'value for points' which worked in Huntley & Palmers favour against the cheaper biscuit manufacturers. By the time that biscuits came off ration points, the cost between quality and cheap manufacture had narrowed due to the introduction of automatic machinery.
