Make it a Manikin Christmas : advert issued by J R Freeman & Son, London, 1938
In the 'Help Yourself!' annual for 1938 a very bold advert showing Father Christmas and a sack of Manikin Cigars - in the days when Santa could be used to advertise such products. The Manikin brand was manufactured by the London concern of J R Freeman, based in Walham Green, who by this date had interests in the Havana, Cuba, concern of H. Uppmann who they had bought out in 1920. In 1947 they themselves were acquired by the giant Gallagher brand.
No designer is shown for the advert that uses a veritable mix of lettering.
Anyhow - happy Christmas to you all - I hope you have a wonderful Festive time.
