SMJ Miscellaneous: smjsa58

An LMS advertisment from the Stratford Herald for 'cheap trips' to the seaside as well as Stratford on Avon and Evesham which appeared in paper on 27th August 1937. JS Fry & Sons Ltd, was a chocolate company owned by Joseph Storrs Fry and his family based in Bristol. The business went through several changes of name and ownership; it was named JS Fry & Sons in 1822. In 1847, Fry's produced the first modern day chocolate bar. The company became a division of Cadbury by 1919 and in 1923 moved to a new plant at Keynsham. The original Somerdale Factory, then part of Cadbury's, was closed after the 2010 takeover of Cadbury's by Kraft Foods, now Mondelez International.
