Crawford's biscuits - display tin c1930 : Goldenacre" - a simple life biscuit
An interesting dummy or display biscuit tin of the size that was placed in grocers display cabinets for the open sale of loose biscuits by weight. This display tin shows four different labels, one on each side, that would usually be seen on all four sides of a single display tin. They are for Crawford's Assorted Chocolate biscuits, Crawford's Cream Crackers, Crawford's Goldenacre biscuits and one of their main brands, sold both loose and in packets and tins, Crawford's Rover Assorted.
"Goldenacre" is, of course, an Edinburgh suburb but this is a nice play on the idea of goldenacres of wheat as used in this wholeeal bicuit. The "Simple Life" must have annoyed another Edinburgh baker of biscuits, Mitchelhill's, as "Healthy Life" was the name of one of their brands!
