The First Stores in Warwick
There was a Shrewd Scot named George Walker storekeeper and bookkeeper working for Colin Campbell at Glengallan. Walker first built a bark store opposite to where the Glengallan Shire Council office once stood.
Meanwhile Fred Bracker had a man named a Mr. Marcus Berkman in his employment at Rosenthal. Berkman had been in business in England as a saddler before coming to Warwick and he could see that there was a good opening for a general store in the town. He bought an allotment at the first land sale within the town and built a brick store in Albion Street, the first brick building to be built in the
town. These two stores were great acquisitions to the town. Then came that of John Bowen, these men had a good knowledge of what stock was required for the district, quickly set to work to get it.
