THE WESTERN STORES ADVERTISING JUGS AUSTRALIANA |
|
|
Two great pottery jugs in the "Langley " style made by Gibsons limited in England for The Western Stores . The western stores where a chain of general stores that existed in western New South Wales towns such as Parkes ;Dubbo ; Young ; Orange : Bathurst ; Hill End ; Grenfell etc . They had tearooms where these jugs would have been used.
The jugs are a reminder of a bygone era when folks went to the nearest town once a week or once a month to do all the shopping etc. and perhaps luncheon and exchange news (gossip ) over a cuppa (cup of tea).Both jugs are in excellent condition. Sizes :- Large Milk jug :- 5" High ; Small Cream 2½" high. These jugs make a great display and conversation pieces , being interesting advertising items of Australiana. If you know anything more about the Western Stores I would like to hear from you. |
