Produced by the Worker's Film Association Ltd, and photographed by E.Yosper,
this ten minute film is a record of the work of the Peterborough and District
Co-operative Society. There are scenes of production, distribution and
shopping. The film shows the Co-operative Society vans leaving to deliver
goods to customers' homes throughout the district, and shows a women going
out to shop at her local Co-op stores. The film has a compelling commentary,
which, in this clip, describes the "many handsome and up-to-date
branches, conveniently placed for the members". The Co-operative
Society had a long standing tradition of making films about the society
or promoting its goods and services. Other films by the Co-operative society
in the East Anglian Film Archive include the c1936 film 'Co op parade'
which records the 75th anniversary Colchester Co-operative Society parade,
and 'It's in the Can' (1961), a publicity film for Waveney canned foods
from the CWS canning factory in Lowestoft. |
