Glass Areas For Display at David Jones Mall

Large sheets of glass were used for the new shopping centre at David Jones with glass supplied by James Sandy Ltd of Sydney. The display fronts included 12ft by 6ft and 12ft by 8ft plates and a room raised from the ground above glass sheets for the main entrance.
