I love the way some of the businesses are advertised with a portrait of the moustachioed proprietors – was this to give an impression of their respectability? I also love the Random Use of Capital Letters in the sales pitches – presumably to give Emphasis to the Special Qualities of their Merchandise.

P.T. Perkins of Clarence Road was still going strong the the 1950’s and 1960’s, I remember getting my school uniform from there.
In the 1950’s it had those overhead, wire cash carrying machines whizzing back and forth to a main cashier who sat in a small office at the back of the store. Cash only of course!
