“So sad about the distress of David Jones,” writes Nola Tucker of Kiama. “My grandfather was a floorwalker there in the 1890s. ‘A man with the white carnation,’ said my mum. I also worked there on the ground floor in the Elizabeth Street store in Uni holidays and remember the excitement when Frank Sinatra was in Sydney and his bodyguard brought in a young Nancy to do some shopping.” Wonder if she bought any boots.
