1942 - [LCN BOOT KING]
One of Gulgong's well known citizens is L.C.N., and he is always on deck to care for the wants of all in need of clothes, shoes, etc. 
The name of Naughton has been long associated with the old town, and we hope will be for a long time
yet. For many years now Mr. Lou Naughton has been catering for every want of the shoe-wearing public, and is truly called 'The Boot King.'
