    2. ann synan
    3. Hello List This Sunday, August 15th, Sale Museum (Foster Street) will host an exhibition of the early days of W D Leslie stores from 1886 to 1986. John Leslie will be at the museum from 2pm to talk to locals, and trace the history of 100 years trading of W D Leslie Pty Ltd from its beginning in Raymond Street Sale in 1886. As the centre of commerce moved nearer the railway station, Leslie's moved to a position opposite Treloar's Cash Store and later to the emporium of J Cromie, where they sold women's and men's clothing, shoes, groceries, manchester, furniture and sweets. There will be photographs, articles from the store, exhibits of many items sold in the various stores and copies of advertisements from local papers of the time stating prices that amaze us today. There will be afternoon tea available. Ann Synan _____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Bid and sell for free at http://auctions.yahoo.com
