English Quality Biscuits

On his return in 1919, Garfield began taking on managerial responsibilities and over the next few years his father promoted him to company vice president and then general manager. In 1921, with the ten year agreement barring the company from manufacturing bread expired, and at the urging of former customers of his, George Weston went back to baking bread. It was around this time that Garfield convinced his father to import biscuit ovens and machinery from England. The result was the successful launch of "Weston’s English Quality Biscuits" in 1922.
