[Press & Trade Adverts] - Household

This volume contains numbered pages 1-68, with numerous blank, unnumbered pages after that. There are some items tucked inside the back cover of the volume (which will be referred to as 'IBC')

Dates are given for most advertisements, but not for all. Place of publication is given for some advertisements, but not for others. Where these are recorded, apostrophes have been given as in the volume, not necessarily as would have been grammatically correct (the usage of 'Coopers' has been standardised to make the catalogue clearer, and is not as used in the original material).

There is no original index to this volume.

(Cooper McDougall & Robertson Ltd were the first firm in Britain to produce aerosols on a large scale, and this fact is mentioned many times in their advertising for such products)
