Can't find any other mention of Campbell's Butcher shop.
Can anyone decipher the writing ???
Is that 6 shilling and 5 pence ???
Where was it ???
Not sure why the receipt was published in
1984 03 DTHS Newsletter.... ???
I'll take a punt and guess that it was made out to Mr ? Lauer. What were the first name initials of the Lauer's back then? If it is for one of the Lauer's, weren't they mostly living toward the White's corner area? Maybe the Campbell butcher was from the shops opposite the council . Only a guess. Cant decipher anything else other than the 6 shillings and 5 pence as you said. And maybe it was published as it was 50 years old!
Campbell Bros Butchers are listed in Sands & McDougall for 1930 and 1935 at Main Road Doncaster. Unfortunately they don't give street numbers for Doncaster as they do for the inner suburbs. Prices are 7d (has to be too make up the total) 1/-, 1/4, 11d and 2/6 for the grand total of 6/5 Item 14 looks like lamb.
THE POLICE COURTS.
ADULTERATED SAUSAGE MEAT. Wholesale Supplier Fined £20.
N. Coles, wholesale butcher, of Courtney Street, North Melbourne, was charged at North Melbourne court yesterday with having on or about 29th January allegedly sold at Courtney-street, North Melbourne, to the prejudice of the Ann of M. Campbell, of Doncaster, sausage meat that was not of the substance and /or quality demanded, in that It was adulterated and contained an excess of preservatives of 77 per cent. Evidence was given that Bertram P. Davies, inspector of the Shire of Don-caster and Templestowe, inspected the shop of M. Campbell, butcher, Main Road, Doncaster, on 29th January. Davies asked an assistant if the firm was still purchasing sausages from the wholesale supplier, who was responsible for a previous prosecution. The assistant replied in the affirmative. Davies was also in-formed that Coles had refused to give a guarantee that the sausages compiled with the standard. A quantity of the sausages was obtained for analysis, and showed that the content of sulphur dioxide was 6.2 grains per lb. Mr. Stafford, P.M., said the case called for the maximum penalty. Coles was fined £20, in default dis-tress.
