HW Traill Grocer & Ironmonger - an ironmonger was a shop where articles for the house and garden such as tools, nails, and pans were sold. (Photo from the Cyclopedia of Tasmania 1931 Edition)

The Mercury 15 June 1935 - HW Traill sold the business to SP English.

THIRD LOCATION - Burnett Street

After selling to SP English in 1935, there are ads for the business trading in New Norfolk between 1939 and 1950 in the Mercury Newspaper. This ad from 1950 is the only one with a street address and shows that their office was located in Burnett Street, well at least in 1950.

FOURTH LOCATION - 43 High Street

HW Traill Estate Agent in the 1940s - could this date be out by a few years and be where the business moved to some time after 1950?
