The Story Behind Trumpers Famous Pink Label
It has been asked so often, "why does Trumpers Extract of Limes have a pink label?" During the Great War (1914-1918) supplies of the correct paper dried up and the only alternative available to Trumpers was pink, so pink it became and it has remained so ever since. The story does help to explain the Trumper Tradition, where a product such as Extract of Limes can be of such excellent quality that it has remained virtually unchanged since the famous pink label was first introduced.
