Come Co-operative Shopping 13

There are bargains aplenty for Jean Bartlett of Darlington at her local Co-op in this upbeat 1960s ad

Advert 1965 1 mins Silent

Overview

Mrs Jean Bartlett snags some bargains at her local Co-op in Darlington in this peppy 1960s advertisement. Stressing that "you own your Co-op", the ad reminds viewers that Co-operative Wholesale Society members share in the profits - and can be sure of "genuine enjoyment" when they come Co-operative shopping.

Several more instalments in this series of ads are also available on BFI Player, all of which focus on housewives like Mrs Bartlett.
