Description
A bottle in the shape of a man wearing a bowler hat. The whole head unscrews to reveal a long bottle neck. This bottle is based on the advertising character Fred the Flour Grader. In 1964, Spillers flour (which would become Homepride flour) were approached by two copy writers called Bob Geers and Bob Gross. They had an idea for an advertising campaign which featured Fred the Chief Flour Grader.
