Bryant and Mays ran a temporarily effective TV campaign for their "Redhead" matches, saying you can do a lot of other things with matches, (illustrated with red-headed actors puzzles & picking their teeth etc.). A bit later they released collector matchboxes with images of famous redheads such as Elisabeth I, Shakespeare and Van Gogh. But during this time supermarkets started selling much cheaper homebrand matches. It was accurately pointed out that these cheap matches, from Finland I think, frequently broke while struck and the burning head sometimes fell off. But that looked hypocritical when B & M switched to Swedish? made product and closed the Richmond factory. Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06738775106380903770noreply@blogger.com
