Tailor’s Buttons

Percy Gadd, Sydney

Percy Stanley Gadd was born in Frankston, Victoria in 1892. He had moved to New South Wales by 1912. Unfortunately, he did not advertise whilst working in Sydney.

Percy moved to  Woollongong in 1945, and set up in the old Woolthorpes building. He advertised ladies’ and men’s clothing, and also drapery. He offered alterations and bought second hand clothing and drapery for “highest prices”. Sadly, he died soon after, aged only 53 years. The business was continued until the following year.
