Oppressive Week Yields Northam Cool Confectionery Visit
Northam endured oppressive weather with a cool spot found at Mr RS Mannering’s confectionery shop opposite the Palace Theatre on Fuyend Street. A reporter toured the shop as a new chamber capable of carrying many tons of ice was shown, used for dainty ices and drinks, registered by the Laval Board of Health. The saloon features airy seating for 50, with afternoon teas and Australian English American confections in demand. Christmas trade preparations proceed. Mass schedules and church notices follow for St Sidove’s Jennaculbine, St John the Baptist Toodyay, St Joseph’s Grass Valley, and Sundry parish events.
