Finding the radio book

In February 2012 I stumbled upon a trove of company documents from the 1940s and 1950s at a demolition site in Footscray, Melbourne. Here I tell the stories associated with those documents: the records of signwriting company Lewis & Skinner, and the tattered books of correspondence connected with writer Morris West and the radio serial company he started and ran, Australasian Radio Productions. Plus the more general exploration of 'ghost signs' that my discovery has sparked.

A new more references to Lewis & Skinner in old newspapers

Going through Trove (the National Library's online collection of digitised newspapers and other historical material), I found a few references to Lewis & Skinner. I'm posting them here, as well as another pic of the pile of documents as they ended up in my house, so I can link to them from the L&S website:)
