I spent most of 1930 working full time (9am to 6pm) in the shop, and I used to commute between Lane Cove West and Northbridge by bicycle.

Throughout 1931 and 1932, I had to attend Syd Univ from 9am to 1pm 5 days per week, and be back at the shop by 2pm. I used to ride to NB in the early morning, leave the bike at the back of the shop, and catch a tram to Milsons Pt, then a ferry to the Quay, then another tram to the Uni. It was the time of deep depression, and money was scarce, and valuable. I think the fare was tuppence from Northbridge to the ferry, and the same for the ferry ride, and the second tram. Coming back, I would leave the tram at Hunter St and walk to Elliott Bros in O’Connell St, and ask at the order room whether there anything for Northbridge Pharmacy. Then I used walk to Macquarie Place, where was a beaut little Park, and there I would have my lunch. Then to the Quay, and back to the shop until 6pm, and then pedal home.

Every day I would survey the work on the Bridge. There was a constant rat-a-tat-tat of the riveters. They built it from both ends, and the big question arose whether the ends would meet. I believe it was only a few inches out!

When I was registered at 21, Carter asked me to become a partner, but I told him I could not be yoked with an unbeliever (2 Cor 14). So we arranged that he would retire, we would splash Under new management on the front, and I would work for half the profits. He was still the proprietor. I continued in that arrangement for many years, but when the war came I told him I wanted him out. So in about 1941, I bought him out.
