Notes |
When Nicholas Michael Bogiatzis went to Townsville from the Northern Territory in 1918, he decided to try to make a living out of the dyeing trade his father had followed in Castellorizo. Bogiatzis had come to Australia in 1918 with his wife Elenie, and worked for a few months with many of his fellow islanders on the construction of the meatworks in Darwin, and the railway from Darwin to Katherine. In Townsville, he rented a small shop in Flinders Street, and started his business, dyeing suits in different colours, and dyeing curtains and materials for shops.
Meeting with early success, Nicholas decided to expand, and within a few years he had added a steam laundry and a dry laundry laundry to his business. Throughout the 1920s, the business was worked by Nicholas and Elenie, while the family lived iin rooms at the back of the shop. In those days, conditions were trying. They were offering their customers a twenty-four hour service - that is, the clothes brought to the shop in the morning had to be ready in the afternoon; and clothes brought later in the day had to be ready next morning. To give that service, they worked from 6 a.m. until midnight.
In the early days, the cost of laundering was low: sheets tuppence [two pennies] each, pillow cases a penny, shirts sixpence, stiff shirts a shilling, collars tuppence, and trousers one shilling and six pence. To improve his income, Nicholas began to do millinery work, cleaning and repairing hats. In about 1927, he brought out his brother George. Staying with Nicholas until he learnt the trade, George then started a laundry of his own in Flinders Street. After a few years in the originnal shop, Nicholas shifted the business to another site in Flinders Street, at first taking a lease of the premises and later buying the freehold. At the same time, he continued to expand the business, introducing steam presses, washing machines, steam boilers and machines for cleaning stiff collars.
- From Denis Conimos, The Greeks in Queensland
Elenie and the four children spent 1926-1932 in Brisbane, the children attending Greek school there. They returned to Townsville.
The Bogiatzis brothers Mick and Con eventually got into successful fruit and vegetables shops.
