Do you remember Smith's Potato Crisps?
The company was formed in London just after the war, and was a household name for decades. But the name was confined to the history books in the 1990s when new owner Pepsico replaced it with the Walkers brand.
This 1946 Albion truck was helping to feed the nation from Smith's Swansea depot.

Smith's Crisps? Oh yes, but I think that I regarded Golden Wonder as rather superior when I was a small chap! Probably just preferred the name.... anyway, wasn't it Smith's who gave you the salt in a little blue paper wrap?
