| Just a brief comment concerning
the history of Redco. It was founded
by John Edwards (former President of Brooke Bond in the US) and John Rigg
(former President of Brooke Bond , Canada) and commenced business in
November, 1988 in Hauppauge, New York. Salada Foods was acquired in June
1988 in both the US and Canada.
Tragically, John Edwards died one month later
and John Rigg became sole owner. The Canadian Salada business was sold to
Unilever (Canada) in 1990 and the Redco US business to Teekanne GmbH in
1995.
Sincerely,
John Rigg
P.S. So sorry that you did not receive a prompt
and proper response to your enquiries concerning the picture cards. My own
recollection is that they were discontinued in the US in the mid 70's but
they continued in Canada for some time after the US and were discontinued
approximately 1978.
