Morrisons of Albury - a flourishing business

Together the Morrison brothers developed their emporium to be the largest shoe store in Albury. Bruce had a flair for window dressings and artistic photographic displays. Always up to the minute, Morrisons promotes the Disney phenomena and has the marketing foresight to create postcards advertising their wares.

Kevin recalls how his father Leslie would make the ten-hour return trip to the Collingwood area of Melbourne where all the major shoe factories were located in order to buy the latest city shoe fashions. A wonderfully kind man, Leslie would always bring home a small gift for his adored wife Thelma, his teenage son Kevin and infant son Robert Douglas.
