I don't know what Restu is - a cleaning product of some kind, perhaps? - but that apart, this little shop seems pretty keen on soap!

Peter Denton Peter, you were too quick off the mark! You commented before I'd finished the description - see above for more information on these 1920s soap products...

Interesting, I've never heard of Restu or Kurlo or even Bodyguard soap! It's also a bit unusual in that strong smelling soap could affect the tea which was most likely sold loose in those days. I had a look at HHA124L stream and while Rinso, Fairy and Hudson's were familiar Restu was not. Do you think HHA has a thing for buses?

Swordscookie I do! And it may come in very handy with identifying motorised conveyances on here.
