CLEAVERS HARDWARE - Tasmania - Catalogue c1968 - 08/05/22 12:00 PM
Hello ODK history lovers
The Cleavers Hardware Store was an institution in Northern
Tasmania. Founded in the early 20th century [c1904],
This ironmonger operated at Charles Street, Launceston,
and later, also at Deloraine.
When I say ‘founded’ I really mean that GH and FH Cleaver
bought the previous hardware business carried on at the
same address from JS Scarr. So, the hardware business
at Charles Street would have commenced in the late
19th century. Amazing!
This article presents extracts from a late
1960s catalogue that records what lawnmowers
were being sold by Cleavers at that time.
