Title: A boy loading a water tank for export [Go to resource]
Description: Galvanised iron water tanks that were being exported to the Far East were often packed with small tins of Huntley & Palmers biscuits. This maximised the profits on long voyages for the shipping companies. Here a boy and an adult employee are loading a tin of Huntley & Palmers Ice Wafer biscuits into a large metal tank destined for Colombo, Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka.
