An
Australian
brand of
matches
The first
redheads
factory
opened in
richmond
Victoria
in
1909
. This was the first introduction of the
safety match
to
Australia
and they were
well
received since they really were much safer than
previous versions
The
earlier
"
Strike Anywhere matches
" were made with
poisonous
white
phosphorous
and were very
sensitive
to
friction
, as the name
suggests
, with almost any
surface
.
By
contrast
Redheads needed to be
struck
against a
special
pad
in order to
light
. They were named Redheads after the
red
colouring of the
chemicals
used in their
striking head
.
The famous
logo
of a
sexy
redheaded
woman
was created in
1946
. Since then there have been
4
major
updates
to the logo - mostly to
keep up
with changing
hairstyle
fashion
s. The logo has become affectionately known as "Miss Redhead" and is
instantly
recognised
by the
majority
of Australians.
The original company
Bryant & May
was bought out in
1998
by
Swedish Match
who continue to
manufacture
Redheads.
