Boyibus kissibus sweet girlorum,

Girlibus likeibus askum for moreum,

Fatheribus hearibus loud kissorum

Kickibus boyibus out of the doorum.

Brutus et erat,

Caesar sic in omnibus,

Brutus sic in at.

The mention of "Bex"  brings back lots of memories of my mum taking them all the time...pretty sure she was addicted to those powders!!:-(

I still have some items from their hardware section, with the stickers on them.  My uncle had to have the "just in case I need it" items.

Also my 2 cane chairs when I was 4 and the picture taken with Santa from Horderns which was a huge store.

Farmer's was diagonally opposite Nock & Kirbys on George /Market (?) Sts

And of course, Gowings.

I worked in the AMP building opp Circular Quay when it was the tallest building in Sydney.....haven't been back to the city since they built Australia Square;  and the Queen Victoria building was still closed.

And the powder rooms in Horderns, Farmers, Grace Bros and David Jones had a full time attendant who helped with a safety pin, needle and thread and made sure your slip wasn't showing!

My uncle was a lift operator in one of the big stores - the lift with 2 gates, "4th Floor....women's millinery, gloves, hosiery."

They were addictive - that's why they were removed from the market they were bad for the kidneys.  One lady I knew bought a box of 12 daily.
