Title: Jacobs shop display unit, probably 1930s [Go to resource]
Description: In 1969 Huntley & Palmers became part of Associated Biscuits Ltd along with Jacobs and Peek Frean. This elaborate Jacobs display unit reflects how important shop displays were to biscuit manufacturers. Biscuits were initially sold from large containers in the grocery shop. The shopkeeper would weigh out the required quantity of biscuits into paper bags. This display unit shows how the large tins would have fitted into the unit. The tins had glass lids so that the customers could see the biscuits inside.
