Was going through a box of old receipts from the 1960’s with my Mother recently and among the items that turned up were these two (actually loads of them) and I though they might be of interest.
The Swastika Laundry was the subject of a popular and timeless post here in 2007 and its chimneys and vans were sights in Dublin for many years.
Tel El Kebir dairies were based in Monkstown and later became the Premier Dairies depot there, more famously they gave their name to TEK United who play in Rockford Park , a stones throw from where the old dairy used to be.

This collecting urge of yours, where do you think it came from?

Actually it was quite interesting seeing old ESB Bills, receipts from the milkman (we used 21 pints a week for many years), bills from the local shop even the cuts of meat ordered for the week.
Other things included mortgage payments, you went to the bank to lodge the mortgage payments. There were bills for ground rent, domestic rates and water rates.
Even found , shock horror, a receipt for a donation to the 1968 Fianna Fail National Collection as well as a 1972 letter to constituents from Barry Desmond.

Fianna Fail gave receipts? Times have changed.
