Eric Palmer set up a 'Cake and Biscuit Manufacturers Wartime Alliance' in January 1939 to ensure that adequate biscuit supplies would be available for all those evacuated on the outbreak of war. The company supplied Fancy Lunch biscuits to mothers and children that were evacuated from London and other large cities.The typist second from right is Ada Margaret Bennett (nee Temple).
