Retiring After 48 Years' Service

After 48 years' service with Melbourne Cash, Mr Reg Clare, Ann Street, has retired. A very enjoyable staff dinner was held at Ulverstone to mark the retirement. During the meal older members of the staff recalled many humorous incidents that had happened over the years, and after dinner and the presentations those present were treated to music and song by the Gisbome Folk Music Club.

A beautiful clock was given Mr Clare by staff members, while he also received a cheque from the directors. From left, Mr Fen Graham, Mr Clare, Mrs Clare, and Mr B. G. Morris.

Fashions change and this photo of some of the staff taken in 1925 caused much amusement during the evening. From left, Reg Clare, J. Loch, Kath Smith, M. Whitty, E. Jackson, George File and H. Morley.

From left, Messrs Rowland Morris, Ernie Priday (MC), and Graham Morris.

Listening to the music.
