Good try, Margaret, I don't think anyone will get a lot out of this one, but at least it's a bit better.

Another good one...
I find it interesting that on the sign, they are Chimney Cleaners, not Chimney Sweeps... at least, I think that's what it says.

Thought I had it right.
So, they did the kitchen range as well, good lads.

They were a long established family run business in Dublin. They were established in 1828 and the business carried on for nearly 150 years.
