Cocoa of yesteryear : vintage advertising poster for Lyons Cocoa :

A fine collection of old beverages and advertising seen recently in a basement store in the North of England and showing some marvellous contemporary packaging design. This framed poster advertises Lyons Cocoa in a new 2oz. (two ounces) tin for "Food & Warmth". The poster could date from the late 1940s or early 1950s.

 

J. Lyons, based in Hammersmith, London, were a major food and beverages concern that sold into the wider retail market as well as supplying their famous tea, coffee and Corner House restaurant empire.
