Come co-operative Shopping 18
A Caldwell housewife faces a crisis - Mrs Hutchinson is out of marmalade.
Overview
Mrs Hutchinson of Caldwell faces a crisis - she's out of marmalade. Luckily the Co-op store-on-wheels saves the day and the Yorkshire housewife's pantry is soon replenished with her favourite preserve. This film differs from the other regionalised adverts in the Come Co-operative Shopping series, as it isn't based in a Co-op store.
This ad promotes the highly successful rural delivery service implemented by the Co-op movement. It also flags the "Co-operative difference", albeit to a lesser extent than other films in the series, citing savings on Crysella soap flakes, White Olive beauty soap and Scentol pine disinfectant.
