Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. In the public image we are a firm dealing in soft drinks, milk, butter, ice-cream, ham, bacon and so on- from the necessities of a daily diet to the niceties of a bon vivant's palate. 1969 marks our diamond jubilee. To commemorate the occasion we are publishing not just our story, but the story of our times. We have set our story in the diadem of the more colourful history of this lovely island. The Chapter on the difficulties planters and other up-country residents experienced in the pre-refrigeration days gives an insight into the social history of Ceylon in the Victorian era. **155 pages with B&W Plates**.
