The reference box

I’ve found another site, this time in the UK, that I think may be of interest to our Ephemera fans.

Delicious Industries is an independent design studio based in Brighton, UK. Their main site is deliciousindustries.com but if you’d like to see a lot of their interesting ephemera you need to go to their reference box.

This is the item that first caught my eye on their reference set page. Their description of the item reads:

War-time grocery bag The grocery bag would have been used in local shops to hold small individual items. It’s in really good condition and I love the text: “In War Time as in Time of Peace, We aim to give Quality, Service, Satisfaction. The private trader considers you all the time.”

As they say, it’s funny how even back then value and importance of independent shops was being promoted.

Another item that caught my eye was this page from a British Highway Code Book. It’s a 1954 edition and the diagrams are great. You need to look at all the pages which are on the site. It’s an 8 or 9 page pamphlet and is in very good condition for its age. I particularly like the “Bobbie” hat on the officer directing traffic.

There are some 47 pieces of Ephemera in the reference box and all are quite interesting. You should definitely pay the site a visit.

I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.
