EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity of Advert, Gray, Dunn & Co, a prominent confectionery manufacturing firm based in Glasgow, Scotland, during the Edwardian era of the early 1900s. Established in 1865, the company was a leading player in the Scottish confectionery industry, producing a wide range of biscuits and other sweet treats that were popular both locally and beyond. The image, taken in 1905, shows the impressive factory facade of Advert, Gray, Dunn & Co, with its large, red-brick buildings and tall, chimneys belching out plumes of smoke. The scene is filled with a sense of industry and productivity, as workers can be seen loading and unloading goods from carts and wagons, while others move about the yard carrying crates and boxes. John Gray & Co Ltd, another prominent Glasgow confectionery firm, is also represented in the photograph, with their signage visible on one of the buildings. The two companies had a long-standing business relationship, with John Gray & Co acting as agents for Advert, Gray, Dunn & Co in various markets. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing insights into the scale and scope of the confectionery industry in Scotland during the early 1900s. It also serves as a reminder of the important role that local businesses played in shaping the economic and industrial landscape of Glasgow and beyond.
