Description

DescriptionA poster advertising results of a competition organised Wardell Brothers & Co. in 1901. Competitors were required to save as many coupons as they could from packets and tins of tea and send them to Wardell Bros. and Co. by 31 October 1901. There were four coupon colours that were worth varying amounts of points - red coupons were placed in 1/2 pound tea packets, blue coupons in 1 pound tea packets, green coupons in 5 pound tins of tea and yellow coupons were placed in 10 pound tins of tea (from Otago Witness, 16 October 1901, page 20).History / BiographyWardell Brothers and Company were wholesale and retail grocers and tea blenders with stores in Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington. Established in Christchurch in 1887, the Dunedin branch was opened in 1889 and the Wellington branch in 1893. The Dunedin business was formed into a private liability company, Wardells (Dunedin) Limited, in 1935. In addition to its George Street store, the company opened food markets in South Dunedin (1965) and Kaikorai Valley (1974). Its home delivery service ended in 1972. In 1974 Wardells (Dunedin) Limited was purchased by Wilson Neill, which in turn sold its grocery division to J. Rattray and Son in 1979. Wardell's Dunedin stores closed the same year (from Ian Dougherty 'High Street Shopping and High Country Farming', Dunedin, Mahana Trust, 2009). Object Dimensions(h) 705 mm x (w) 435 mm
