Like “ Georges “. at Kelvin bridge , Gt Western road in glasgow ,, he had everythingThere was a chandlers in Dover I visited some years ago, as usual I forget the name. I wanted some lamp wick, and having failed to get any at the smart new chandlers a few doors away I tried my luck. The old boy in a brown dustcoat, who I have been told died a year or two later, got a stepladder and ascended to an extremely high shelf and brought down a large box, in which there was a large section of wicks of all sizes, from which I chose a foot or two of the right size for not many p. I think the old boy's son carried on the business for a while.
