Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

*Willson's, the printers of this poster, are still operating - 'A family business with a history stretching back more than 150 years, Willsons is now a multi-faceted design, print and distribution specialist. Established in 1864 and with humble beginnings as a billboard poster printing company, our business has evolved into a multi-faceted gateway to the global print marketplace. But we're still a family firm, something you'll find reflected in our friendly, approachable attitude and personal service.' As for Butlin's, see the WIKI entry - 'Sir William Heygate Edmund Colborne Butlin MBE (29 September 1899 12 June 1980) was a South African-born British entrepreneur whose name is synonymous with the British holiday camp. Although holiday camps such as Warner's existed in one form or another before Butlin opened his first in 1936, it was Butlin who turned holiday camps into a multimillion-pound industry and an important aspect of British culture. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to William and Bertha Butlin, Butlin had a turbulent childhood. His parents separated before he was seven, and he returned to England with his mother. He spent the next five years following his grandmother's family fair around the country where his mother sold gingerbread, exposing the young Butlin to the skills of commerce and entertainment. When he was twelve his mother emigrated to Canada, leaving him in the care of his aunt for two years. Once settled in Toronto, his mother invited him to join her there. In Canada, Butlin struggled to fit in at school and soon left for a job in a Toronto department store, Eaton's. In World War I he enlisted as a bugler in the Canadian Army. After the war, Butlin returned to England, bringing only £5 with him. Investing £4 of that money to hire a stall travelling with his uncle's fair, Butlin discovered that giving his customers a better chance to win brought more custom in, and he quickly became successful. One stall became several, including prominent locations such as Olympia in London, and Butlin soon was able to purchase other fairground equipment, and started his own travelling fair. He proved successful in this endeavour as well, and by 1927, he opened a static fairground in Skegness. Over the next 10 years Butlin expanded his fairground empire, all the time harbouring an idea to increase the number of patrons in his Skegness site by providing accommodation.'.…
