Vintage Art Artist Drawn Colour Advertising Postcard. Advertisement. With Compliments of J. S. Fry & Sons Ltd. Chocolate & Cocoa Manufacturers to their Majesties. Coronation King George 5th. Queen Mary. / Advertisement. Information on back : J. S. Fry & Sons Ltd. of Bristol and London, are the oldest firm of Chocolate and Cocoa Manufacturers, Letters Patent having been granted to them by King George II, in 1729. They emply over 5000 hands, and hold more than 300 Grands Prix, Gold Medals, and Diplomas, and in the course of their long history of nearly 200 years have received many marks of royal favour. Her late Majesty Queen Victoria in the early part of her reign appointed them by Special Warrant Manufacturers of Chocolate and Cocoa to the Royal House, and His late Majesty King Edward, whose warrant as Prince of Wales the firm held for nearly 40 years, confirmed the appointment after he ascended the Throne. His Majesty King George V, whose warrant they held as Prince of Wales, has honoured them with His Royal Brief as King, as have also Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, Her Majesty Queen Margherita of Italy, Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain, and the King and Queen of the Hellenes. A similar mark of Royal favour came long ago from France, when, in 1867, the late Emperor Napoleon by a Special Brevet, issued at the Palace of the Tuilleries, appointed them Manufacturers of Chocolate and Cocoa to the Imperial House, and they still have the honour - one that they prize vrey highly - of numbering Her Immperial Majesty the Empress Eugenie among their illustrious patrons. This record of honours is as magnificent as it is unique and the historic firm deserve to be congratulated upon their success, and still more upon the high methods through which it was attained - The Times.
