had the misfortune to be on the staff of alex smiths when he took over the commercial street premises.mr smith (as all staff had to call him) was a slave driver,but if your face fitted he was great to those certain staff. my face did not fit and was sacked (for a genuine misunderstanding). how he got away with treating people the way i witnessed a great number of staff being treated like dirt,thank god for a change in company law.
On a rainswept night in April 1964, Alex Smith's store in Commercial Street is illuminated and some of their Spring collection is on display.
They had the infamous ad in the Tele that said :Start Christmas With A "Bang" In Our Ladies Department.
