Legend has it that when friends and business colleagues, Alex Campbell and Ernie Skinner, went to a local sign shop in Victoria to have their “A&E Foods” sign fabricated for their new store in Fairfield, the sign maker asked them if they couldn’t come up with something a bit more creative. He then drafted up “Thrifty” for them in cowboy type, and the rest is local history in Victoria.
I don’t know who told me this story and can’t say if it’s true, but it’s sure a good one.
