Tea in the home : English & Scottish Joint CWS Tea advertising card, c1930

            One of a series of pictorial advertising cards issued by the English & Scottish Joint Co-Operative Wholesale Societies Tea to promote their tea that "is filling the Nation's teapot" as their long-lived slogan said. The Co-operative Wholesale Society had been set up in Manchester in 1864 to provide various services to the individual co-operative societies affliated to it and the Scottish CWS was likewise formed in 1868. In 1923 both the national CWS societies set up the Joint society, replacing the 'Joint Tea Committee', as brokers, suppliers and producers of 'colonial' products, most notably tea. The Joint CWS owned buying stations in west Africa and owned plantations in India and Ceylon (Sri Lanka).  Based in London the Joint CWS had tea blending, packing and coffee roasting works in London and Manchester.

Here we see a very traditional family, gathered around the table, in delight as Mother pours cups of Co-Operative Tea.
