SNIPPIPPETS
perths o whserer
Entrepreneurial animal lover Richard Gilroy
walked away rom a 30 year career in
engineering six months ago to fll a hole in
Perths growing pet care market. Today, his
homemade organic dog treats are being
shipped around the country and even as ar
away as Saudi Arabia.
Youll fnd Falka Gs Dog Treats at The
Markets @ Perth Cultural Centre. I love what
I am doing and the small scale, personalised
market environment is perect or my
product, Richard says. The response so ar
has been antastic and the dogs are my best
marketers. Im sure that i dogs got pocket
money, theyd spend it at Falka Gs!
The Markets @ Perth Cultural Centre
operate 10am5pm weekends and are
located at the corner o Beauort and James
Streets, opposite the entrance to the WA
Museum. Find out more at

vesHis sports baseball, cricket and ootball
As a young Chinese boy growing up inNorthbridge, 83-yer-old Bill Chieremembers it as a very dierent place.
Where there re no resturntsnd brs, there ere mrket grdensand stables, and this spelt opportunity
or Bills ather imothy, who in 1898 had movedto Perth in search o work.
At bout 16-yers-old, nd on his on, myather moved to Perth rom China to start a newlie, Bill said.
im joined ht s then groing PerthChinese community, which consisted of about 840predominately single men. Determined to make ago o it, and despite the looming inuence o theGret Depression, im set up his on businessin the 1930s.
Trading as J & S Chiew Produce Merchants, the
store thrived, and became a landmark at 99 101James Street or more than 40 years.
Its stock in trade was supplying goods or themrket grdens nd stbles littered throughoutthe area. Its speciality items included its amousmanure especially shipped in rom Melbourne.
