Little Miss Barber
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Little Miss Barber was an advertising character and trademark for a number of brands of tea, including Barber's, Orantips and Twinings, in the English West Midlands, several examples of which remain visible on ghost signs in the region.[1][2]
The character was in use at least as early as January 1929.[3] In 1942, she was used to promote a Toc H charity concert at Birmingham Town Hall.[4] The character was in use as late as July 1956 at least, when she was featured in an advertising competition whose results were announced on I.T.V. television by Daphne Padell.[5]
