Thank you to Betty Wallace who wrote: |
"After
working for
C&A Modes
in Princes Street,
I worked for Crawfords Biscuits
on Elbe St, Leith.
I believe it has been turned into flats now.
My pal,
Connie, came to work there as well,
and also my two sisters.
The girls were known as Crawfords' white
mice.
We were on piece work and
had to go hard at it to make a decent wage.
Putting little notes inside the tins that were being
shipped to the boys in the services during the war was fun."

Betty followed up her comments above with messages
to the EdinPhoto guestbook in which she said: |
"In
the late-1940s and the 1950s, I worked for Crawford's Biscuits
with:
-
my sisters Ina and Ella
Are
there any ex-Crawford workers who remember us? I'd be glad
to hear from them."

"I am
trying to locate Ian Crawford, who may now be in his seventies.
Ian
may have a son/nephew/cousin who served in the UK Navy.
Can
anybody help me to locate him?"
