A Pair Of Beauty Supermarket First Anniversary Souvenir Drinking Glasses & A Shopping Bag
Marked "Compliments from Beauty Supermarket Sdn Bhd 1st Anniversary, in both English and Chinese, these are a souvenir from one of Ipoh's earlier Supermarkets.
Unfortunately the exact date / year if the first anniversary is not known. However, this was the time when Ipoh had Perak Emporium (the first and largest) and a few other smaller supermarkets like Beauty, Angel, Crescendo, Dayi & Kwong Fatt which were all operating to a similar scale. However, when Super Kinta appeared in the late 1980's, with brand new shopping concept and facilities, all these smaller, traditional supermarkets were badly hit and eventually were forced to close down.
The shopping bag (second and third picture) shows the word 'Beauty' printed on one side and 'Crescendo' on the other. We do not have this bag in our collection.
If anyone knows more about Beauty Supermarket we will be pleased to hear from you.
