Back from Paris, and to the #HistoryofAdvertisingTrust dinner at the #MuseumOfBrands. The theme was women in advertising. One of the exhibits was the 1923 minutes of the 1st meeting of #WACL. Some might be surprised by the number of women who held senior positions in what were then big agencies.

A 1939 advert for Huntley & Palmer's biscuits from Reading & the "Empire's largest biscuit factory". This long established company had helped revolutionise biscuit production & marketing & were already part of the larger Associated Biscuits group. #vintage #biscuits

Seen in a guide produced with the backing of the County Borough of Reading by the local Chamber of Commerce and issued in July 1939, just before the outbreak of the Second World War. It contains details of residential amenities and services in the then growing town as well as a description of the local industries; these included several large employers such as Huntley & Palmers biscuits, Simonds Brewery and Sutton's Seeds as seen here. Huntley & Palmers, founded in the town by Jospeh Huntley in 1822, became one of the earliest global food brands largely thanks to George Palmer who joined the company in 1841, and the use of both production and packaging technology; the company became famous for its decorated metal biscuit tins, as seen here, that both protected the product and helped sell the brand. In 1921 they merged with London based rivals Peek Freans to form Associated Biscuits and this, eventually, became part of Nabisco who closed the Reading works in 1976. The brand name was sold on and has recently been re-established, although production is not in the town. The advert set on a table shows a display of biscuits alongside three of the large loose biscuit tins as sold by weight in grocers. They are Cheese Assorted, Standard Kinds (an assortment of plain biscuits) amd Ginger Nuts with the advertising figure of "John Ginger").
