'. . . here are a couple of obscure small-ads with drawings by Ronald Searle. These are taken from the June and January issues of 'Stitchcraft' magazine, from 1955. It must have been quite an interesting brief, to come up with ideas illustrating 'a clear case for Cash's woven name tapes.' These two ideas are fairly straightforward but they're nice drawings, and I particularly like that logo. The company is still trading, with a very similar logo, today. '

(Ronald Searle tells me this is wrongly identified-it's NOT his work.)
"Quick! - have a Bev!" - Bev Coffee Essance advert issued by J Lyons, London, 1950
One of several brands of coffee and chicory essences made was 'Bev', produced by the then massive food empire that was J Lyons of Cadby Hall, London.
