Royal Home Cookery- Cinema Advertising Slide

Description

In the "Levin Daily Chronicle" of the 11th of October, 1938 the 'Royal Home Cookery" advertised their cold luncheons in a new refrigerator, as well as home made cakes and pastry in their tea rooms. They were still in the phone book in 1945- quite an achievement for a 'luxury' business to survive the war.

Proprietors Mr and Mrs Willis were advertising 'High Class Cakes' in a 1956 advertisement for 'The Chronicle's' 50th Jubilee publication and, judging by the fashions on display (and the pre-1980s three digit phone number), this slide dates to around that time. MAVtech has an extensive collection of slides but this one still manages to be eye-catching with it's fine use of colour and an interesting picture which draws the eye.
