Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

The story of the famous Australian brand names, many developed from humble beginnings yet made in clothing factories employing thousands of people, and the grand retail stores and clothing shops that stocked those brands.

Fred Wilkinson spent more than forty years working in the Australian clothing trade. His father, George Wilkinson, spent more than fifty years, starting in the late 1800s when he joined Sidney Myer as one of Myer's first employees in Bendigo, Victoria, when Myer was still a hawker.

Fred's career in sales and sales management included time with leading Australian menswear companies such as Anthony Squires, Levi Strauss and others.
