    My father William Butler work in the offices from 1926 until the firm
    closed. I still have his presentation wrist watch given to him on
    retirement. My father lost his first job in London during the General
    Strike and walk miles looking for employement. When he arrived at Harris
    Lebus looking for work, Herman Lebus was coming out of the door, and gave my
    father a job on the spot.
    I worked from the age of 15 (1949) to 1952 at the Workes Office ad Personel
    Office as Junior. I was allowed two afternoons to attend Tottenham
    Technical College. It was a fantastic place, the wood arrived as trees at
    one end of the factory and came out the other end as furniture.
    I went to parties when I was young and while working there went to the
    famous dances they held.
    The hours were long and my wages for a 40 hour week were 1.10s.
    I reemember meeting all the Lebus clan and had a long conversation with
    Anthony Lebus once, he was a charming man.
    Whe I married I chose my furniture from Tab.Street, in London
    I have a photograph of a dance my parents went to.
    I sent the rest of my father’s archive material when he died to Bruce Grove
    Museum.
