Clip 1: Taken from the soundtrack to "The Royal Baker"
And now we come to that great hive of industry on the banks of Father Thames at Reading, the huge factory of Huntley & Palmers. Covering a total area of 36 acres, this home of famous biscuits and cakes employs many thousands of workers, and even has it's own railway engines.
Clip 2: Huntley & Palmers song, "For Every Mealtime There's a Biscuit"
"First stop Reading, Take your seats please!"
We're off to Reading, Hooray, Hooray
At Huntley and Palmers to spend the day
We're longing to reach this wonderful town
To taste their biscuits so crisp and brown.
All hot from the oven before us displayed
We see how these world famous biscuits are made
And now for our breakfast, dinner and tea
The biscuits we must have are H and P.
Clip 3: The world-wide popularity of Huntley & Palmers is illustrated in the film "The Royal Baker"
Huntley and Palmers biscuits do get about.
When Lassa*, the Forbidden City was first entered by a white man a tin of Huntley and Palmers biscuits was one of the first signs of civilisation that he found.
In every corner of the globe, Huntley and Palmers biscuits are to be seen. The stock rooms at Reading are a veritable maze of tall, stacked, of filled tins and cases ready for despatch. The five hundred different labels make a bewildering and colourful array. The majority of labels incorporate the famous garter and buckle emblem, which has been used by Huntley and Palmers for eighty years.
Every hour of the day there is a constant exodus of consignments from this great factory. Lines of loaded trucks leave by rail, and countless vans arrive empty and leave fully laden. The constant activity of the despatch department is a true reflection of the worldwide popularity of Huntley & Palmers biscuits and cakes.
These few types of biscuits may serve to remind you of the wide and varied range of Huntley and Palmers products which cater for every taste and every purse … Help yourselves and remember the phrase 'Made by Huntley & Palmers' so you know they are the best.
