Dairy Farm Co Advertisments

Submitted by habaan on Mon, 03/13/2023 - 02:13

I'm working on my dissertation about the milk culture of Hong Kong and I have been trying for a very long time to find ads released by the Dairy Farm, Co., particularly in its early years. I tried using the HKPL and HKGRO databases but to no avail given that their search functions are virtually useless (compared to the other digital archives that I have thoroughly enjoyed when researching the culinary history of the Americas and the UK).  I realized that the HKPL search function completely ignores ads and can barely highlight anything of importance.

Note: this place is a bit speculative.

In 1940, Kowloon Dairy was founded. On their website  they report: "Together with Mr. George Ahwee and Mr. Rudy Choy, Mr. Li Lan Sang invested more capital to grow the business and “Limited” was added to our name."  They continue: "Over the ensuing decades, the company steadily expanded, with hundreds of our milk cows grazing on acres of Kowloon land, now developed for housing Kowloon’s growing population."
