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.

Pedder Building (畢打行) was built in 1923 by the architectural firm of Palmer and Turner. In the pre-Second World War period, most tenants were foreign commercial firms with their headquarters or branches set up in Central. Most tenants evacuated before the Japanese Occupation (1941-1945), and consequently the Japanese and Chinese firms moved in. The building remained intact during the Occupation, and it has always functioned as a commercial building for shops and offices.
