1912 - NEW GULGONG BUSINESS MEN

Messrs. Stahl and Upham have bought out the well-known business which Mr. A. E. Brigden ran in Gulgong for so many years. These two gentlemen have an extensive experience in business, and understand the art of advantageous buying so as to give best value to customers for their money. The Beehive Store is acknowledged as a 'quality house,' and the new proprietors are determined to enhance its reputation and cement its hold upon the affections of the public.
