Primrose Confectionery. The Primrose Confectionery company, previously of Farnham Road, Slough, doesn't appear to exist any more, but it was very active in the cigarette card business in the 1960s and early 1970s, including a few football card offerings.

1973/74
Football Funnies. Another set of flimsy cards (paper really) which have a cartoon on the front and the related story on the back.

Set size: 25.
