 Co-op Bedford CA Milk Float
  We have featured the Co-op livery on many items over the years and this 1:43rd Bedford CA Milk Float is a nice addition to the range. Robert Owen is often regarded as the father of the Co-operative movement, but the concept goes back further when trading companies were formed to arrange the bulk purchases of cheap foodstuffs. The Co-operative Wholesale Society came into existence in 1863 in a small warehouse in Manchester. In 1873 they started to manufacture goods: biscuits, boots and shoes, soap, washing machines, corsets, bicycles etc. They later purchased tea plantations in Ceylon and butter facilities in Denmark. However, for many what was so attractive were the advertisements, particularly pre-war, that had their own very unique style.
