Cites Brighter Homes Exhibition (Manchester, 1930).
Description:‘This section of the Exhibition, now being held in the City Hall, Manchester, still proves the main attraction. On Saturday last three commissionaires were required to cope with the huge crowd that would persist in trying to remain with the dogs. This venture has proved eminently satisfactory to the one dog owner who does not in the ordinary way attend shows, consequently lacking the fancier’s knowledge, as was proved by the many elementary questions that arise. Several newcomers to the doggy cult have been enrolled, and many purchasers of stock and numerous enquiries have been made, large breeds seemingly attracting most notice and demand.
...
A variety of puppies have been on sale throughout. Spratt’s Patent Ltd. have had a surprising run on their foodstuffs and appliances, having to replenish stock daily.’

Description:'In promotional articles, food manufacturers positioned themselves as responsible conveyers of nutritional wisdom to a presumably uninformed lay audience. Our Dogs again reported that visitors “at [London] Olympia… will be given the opportunity of … learning many useful things - that are notat present nearly as widely known or fully understood as they deserve to be - concerning the care of the dog, and the part that is played by this most faithful and intelligent four-legged companion and domestic pet in the proper realisation of the home ideal.” [note: '“The Dog’s Place in the Ideal Home,” Our Dogs, no. 78 (21 March 1930): 785.
