Clarnico Fruit Jellies showcard : c.1975
The well known confectioners Clarnico were based in east London and famous for mint creams and confectionery such as these Fruit Jellies. Clarnico stood for Clarke, Nichol and Coombes who from 1879 were based in Hackney Wick until this year when they moved to new works a little further east in 1955. They were acquired by the other east London mint makers Trebor and so merged into Cadburys who keep the brand name.
As a school student I wrote to Clarnico who were kind enough to send me a selction fo their publicity and display material; this 18" high cardboard die-cut showcard is so designed as to move the box forward of the main background, giving a 'three-D' effect. The price, 17p a box, also helps date this!
