An advert for Huntley & Palmer biscuits scanned from the programme for The Aldershot Tattoo, June 1938. It came as a shock to learn that the huge factory in Reading had closed back in 1976, although the name was later revived for a much smaller operation in Sudbury, Suffolk. I do however recall the jingle, which must go back to the 1960s if not earlier;
"Huntley & Palmers bake 'em, like biscuits ought to be!"
I can just about remember that jingle, along with another that still sticks in my mind..."Beer at home means Davenports..." or, "1001 cleans a big, big carpet, for less than half a crown..."

Not to mention "Hands that do dishes can be soft as your face, with mild green Fairy Liquid" I think we're getting old!
