Among the business establishments may be mentioned that of Messrs. M. Marks and Co., in Mayne-street. This is one of the principal general stores in Gulgong, having extensive premises and possessing a separate establishment for the sale of boots and shoes. In the large store a great variety of general merchandise is kept in stock to meet the demands of their large circle of patrons. A portion of the main store is divided off into a millinery and a men's clothing department, which are kept in full swing.Source: Australian Town and Country Journal (Sydney, NSW : 1870 - 1919) Sat 4 Oct 1884 Page 28
