Document, Docket Cramond & Dickson, Mid 20th century
This is a docket issued by the firm of Cramond and Dickson, probably to the Warrnambool Club. John Cramond and James Dickson established their general store in Warrnambool in 1855 and was a major business in Warrnambool (firstly in Timor Street and then in Liebig Street) until 1973. A branch of the business was opened in London about 1868. This docket is of interest as an example of the business dealings of the Liebig Street store of Cramond and Dickson, an important business in Warrnambool for over 100 years, This is a docket from a pad or book, sent by Cramond and Dickson to an unknown customer. It probably was duplicated using carbon paper. The paper is yellowing with black printed ruled lines, other red and black printing, a ‘paid’ stamp that is illegible and an image in red printing of the Cramond and Dickson store. The items sold and the cost have been written in pencil‘The city’s quality store, Telephone 32, P.O. Box 69, est. 1854, Cramond & Dickson, General Drapers and Importers, Warrnambool and London, M……. sold by 9, 11 swabs, 2/3, £1-4-9, Amount Tendered, 49’. cramond and dickson store, warrnambool -
