HISTORY

1912 Caustic Comments on Affairs at Fremantle. Chemist Tom Owen, the organiser of the East Fremantle Band penned the following somewhat remarkable effusion: "Dear 'Pagan,' Many thanks for the splendid ad.you have given the East Fremantle District Brass Band, and incidentally myself. But in commenting on my disposition to advertise my ringworm cures on the band's concert tickets you create the impression that I am exploiting the band for my own benefit. As a matter of fact, I have to pay for the privilege of advertising on these tickets. ... I hope after reading this letter you will feel chasened (sic!) in spirit, and "forever always put the best and not the worst construction on people's motives." Friend Owen is barking up the wrong tree, but "The Pagan" hastens to assure him that he appreciates his well meant advice contained in the last portion of his epistle. (reference)

Mr. Owen's establishment, which is in Canning-road, near the Plympton Hotel, is equipped with all the latest in the apothecary's line, and his prices are on a par with those ruling in the city.

1931 Runaway Truck. Failure of the brakes caused a motor truck owned by Baker Bros., butchers, of East Fremantle, to coast down a steep hill in Hubble-street. East Fremantle, yesterday, and to crash into the premises of Mr. T. C. Owen, chemist, on the corner of that street and Canning-road. The impact was received by one of the brick walls of the kitchen, and besides extensive damage to the wall, the gas stove was dislodged, and a large quantity of crockery on a dresser was broken. Members of the Owen's family were absent from the kitchen at the time, but had the accident happened a few minutes later, it is probable that the family would have been seated at lunch, and somebody would have undoubtedly been struck by pieces of falling crockery or bricks.
