    Wow Tree that place is awesome. I just love to see things that have stood the test of time. So neat that they still use the old equipment and building. They certainly focus on the products and serving their customers and keeping the cost down. I'm glad you got to experience it-- and thanks for taking us along. Cheers!

      +BratBusters Parenting (Lisa Bunnage) Ah....that's ok Lisa, I especially wanted to make it now cos they said that they're doing some renovations soon, so thought it would be special to capture it as it is now. Although, some very exciting things are about to start happening at that place. Tree X

      I'm originally from Ohio and we had several communities there. Holmes County, Ohio and Adams County, Ohio. Now I live in Arkansas and there are some in Jamestown, Missouri. The largest Ordnung (community) is in Lancaser, Pennsylvania. Look under shopping at this link - they link others amishfarmvillage.com/

    I worked for David Graham at 77 Commercial Street Spitalfields. In the mid sixties David Graham became a director of William Gee . Directors ALF and Syd Gee were extremely competent businessmen , though when David got involved. The business flourished big time. The swinging sixties London lead world in fashion . Mini skirts, men’s shirts in fact all fashion.

    Young Lady you make me laugh. You can tell when you where in William Gee Haberdashery you light up. It's like there is so much to see and not enough time to see it all. When I was younger I almost got locked in fabric shop. If it wasn't for one of the staff checking in the basement. It would have been fabric haven.
