Storyworth My First Job Woolworth’s 16 the birthday - Mum and Rita came home from Waltham Hospital, as Rita was born on 21st. Mum not pleased. Woolworths had a variety of products from goldfish in big tanks to sewing patterns - large books on slanted tops to large file cabinets that contained the the pattern packets. The most popular were Simplicity + McCalls. No One would dream of Vogue patterns. It is now a CVS.
