1924: Woolworths begins

We opened our doors for business on Friday, 5 December 1924.

On Friday, 5 December 1924, Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement opened for business in Sydney's Imperial Arcade.  

Percy Christmas, Founding CEO said of the event: ‘Every city needs a Woolworths: Sydney has it now. Every man, woman and child needs a handy place where good things are cheap.’

Little did he know, that more than 92 years later, these words would still form the basis of our team philosophy and values.

 

100 years on, and a singular salute to Unknown Warrior: ROBERT HARDMAN watches the poignant Armistice Day ceremony in London 

ROBERT HARDMAN watches the poignant Armistice Day ceremony in London 

ROBERT HARDMAN: Their loss had been so great that the threatened resurgence of a deadly influenza virus did nothing to deter the colossal crowds which turned out 100 years ago. Here were commemorations of a type never seen before or since. Yet, in its own, socially distanced way, yesterday's centenary of the Funeral of the Unknown Warrior was something of a one-off, too. Left: Boris Johnson and Prince Charles at the event in Westminster Abbey, a Camilla (inset) wearing a poppy-themed face mask. Back on Armistice Day 1920, the state funeral for an unidentified British serviceman (right) killed on the Western Front electrified a nation still dumb with grief. Millions mourning a missing loved one now had two magnetic points for their grief - the Cenotaph, which was unveiled during the funeral procession, and a grave in pride of place in Westminster Abbey.

Roman Novák was foraging for mushrooms in the Czech forest when he noticed a piece of metal jutting out of the ground. He realized it was part of a sword, dating back some 3,300 years ago.

 

The sword has an octagonal handle, with a bronze hilt intricately carved with circles and crescents

WoW!

 

Copper, brass, and bronze do not rust for the same reason as aluminum. All three have a negligible amount of iron in them. Therefore no iron oxide, or rust, can form. However, copper can form a blue-green patina on its surface when exposed to oxygen over time.

What an amazing find.
