Arnott's Ltd - a photo on Flickriver

Arnott's Ltd

            144 pages and only one photo of anyone actually making a biscuit, -the usual photo of women feeding a creaming machine at Homebush. Intersting book and nicely laid out with good photos of tins and ads, but woeful on how biscuits are made and in some instances just plain wrong. Another biscuit book not given to anyone with any knowledge of production to check prior to publication. At least each family company gets a paragraph or two. Not one photo of any factory save for the original Arnott's factories. The entire New Zealand division which have the histories of four biscuit companies including some with flour mills and confectionery sections is summed up in one sentance around the pruchase of a partial shareholding and then a complete shareholding of Aulsebrooks Ltd. What a slap in the face to all those past employees since earlier than the beginnings of Arnotts. Arnott's encompases 16 past biscuit manufacturers in Australia and New Zealand. This book is neither a history nor a celebration of anything that might be honourable in respect to those companies and their past employees (of which I am one in three of them, -A B Consolidated, Peek Frean (Australia) and Arnott-Brockhoff-Guest).

I do not blame the author or the researcher. 

Book first published in 1993 by Landsdowne Publishing P/L.
