Sales Reps For Pharmaceutacals

A Memory of Dagenham.

I'm writing about my father, Raymond Cooper , or Raymond Graves Cooper, who was a sales rep for May and Baker, first in the north of England in the 50's and then later in the south of England from 1958.
He dealt in pharmaceutacals and also oils for perfumes. I remember he used to have small phials of essential oils in the boot of the car, he wanted me to become a Perfumier when I grew up.

His boss was Larry Smith - does anyone remember these people?

I remember the Dagenham building well, we went as a family to the M and B Open day, and my parents used to go to Dinner Dances at the Cafe Royale once a year, very glamorous events .

M and B developed a product which was used in Abbatoirs to limit the spread of infection. I cannot remember the name of this product - can anyone help? My father became a vegetarian for quite a long time after having to visit these abbatoirs!

Thank you - Thelma Miller
