Title: Huntley & Palmers Christmas Biscuits and Cakes, 1939 [Go to resource]
Description: Despite the outbreak of the Second World War there is an impression of plentiful supplies and business as usual from this catalogue. In fact rationing was introduced in January 1940 and biscuit manufacturers supplies were cut by 60%. The tins for sale at Christmas 1939 were Boyhood of Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth, Tahiti, Blue Scarf and Legend Box. These tins were packed with assorted chocolate biscuits.
