Description

DescriptionTerylene was described as a ‘miracle fabric’, made of 55% terylene and 45% wool. In the days leading up to the 1958 Ipswich Show, Beirne’s was advertising the “Terylene Television Demonstration” in the main pavilion. Pictured is a crowd of showgoers watching the Terylene Show. The sign on wall by piano says ‘From material manufactured by Queensland Woollen Manufacturing Co., North Ipswich’. Irish retailer T.C. (Tom) Beirne started a small branch of the store in August 1893. The premises on the corner of Nicholas and Union Streets were built in 1902.
