EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from 1917 showcases the Cockatoo Company's range of high-quality knitting wools, produced in Burley-in-Wharfedale, Yorkshire. During the tumultuous year of 1917, as the First World War continued to rage on the front lines, the importance of providing soldiers with comforts from home became increasingly significant. The Cockatoo Company answered this call with their soft, fleecy, and exceedingly strong wools, available in various shades including khaki, natural, and navy. These wools were perfect for knitting warm and comforting items for the soldiers at the Great War's frontlines. The advertisement's charming illustration of a cockatoo, a symbol of the Cockatoo Company, adds a touch of whimsy to the practical and essential nature of the product. This historical advertisement serves as a poignant reminder of the innovative ways in which companies responded to the unique challenges of the First World War, providing both practical solutions and a sense of connection to home for those on the frontlines.
