MILANDA BREAD ADS - 1970'S

Top ad is dated 1973 and the one under it is from 1974.
Only 1 year in it, but TD Duncan, who supplied Milanda bread, had moved from Robertson Street to Clepington Road in that time.

  1. Stoo was right, GG. You should have stayed up here and offered your artistic services to the bakery business. Those two children (are they children?) in the top ad look like something out of a horror film!

  2. Yes it does look like it's a precursor to "Chucky"!
    The artist made the mistake of giving the boy toddler in front, large girlie eyelashes. Perhaps this caused some kind of psychological problem that later in life had him fitted with a straitjacket, as in the other ad!

  5. My Grandad was here (both premises) for virtually his whole working life, from 14 to 65, war service excepted. Hard to imagine now, but jobs weren't easy to come by in the 1920s and '30s. I expect a lot of people were reluctant to move.

    I remember the shortbread was quite good.

    Think they merged with or were taken over by Beatties before he retired.
