Verkade
Verkade started producing biscuits in 1911. After five years, the range consisted of nineteen types, biscuits with names such as Marie, Demi Lune, Croquette, Petit-Beurre and Café Noir. The sale of biscuits increased in leaps and bounds in the first years, to 132,000 guilders in 1913 turnover, to almost 1.5 million guilders in 1918. This tenfold increase had an unexpected cause; by the First World War the import of biscuits from England, the birthplace of biscuits, had disappeared.

In addition to the cans that are collected, the Verkade albums are also popular among collectors. From 1903 Verkade added various pictures to the packaging. In total 35 different albums have been released; thirty in the period 1903-1940 and another five after 1965.
