“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”. Quote by George Bernard Shaw.
Just three years after World War II, the following two advertisements relating to Co. Tipperary appeared in a Muintir Na Tire handbook publication, entitled “Rural Ireland 1948”.
The first advertisements, show directly above, relates to the town of Thurles and the once existing Mineral Manufacturer “Dwans”. Note the Company Telephone Number in the picture.
The second advertisements, again show directly above, relates to Roscrea and the Roscrea Bacon Factory, Ltd. Note the somewhat humerus sausage promotion and also the telephone number.
Today, in relation to both companies, we understand the quote by American politician and lawyer, Robert Kennedy (1925-1968):
“Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator, and change has its enemies”.
