MARIE BISCUIT

   I've seen "Marie biscuits" in many brands and in many countries, yet it's not in the OED or in my food books.
   In the 1948 "Darjeeling tea" citation above, Huntley & Palmer Biscuits "Sweet Marie" is also advertised.  In the following citation, "Huntley & Palmer Biscuits" also are advertised, but "Marie Biscuits is advertised separately.
