blast from the past...






on a holiday at dalhousie, i visited D.C. Khanna & Sons.

located on court road, this departmental store is over a hundred years old. it was THE leading supplier of groceries and all kinds of food-stuffs to the british and the desi saabs of the time.

the good folk there were kind enough to let me take pictures of the store.

there are signboards for nestle and cadbury's. plus an old-fashioned dispenser for chocolates.

i guess...in its own time, D.C. Khanna & Sons must have been an innovator too...

we can have a series of such "antique" branding on our blog or hosted somewhere else. It is a wealth of knowledge and information. Show how much has changed or how little has changed.
