PhilipB Â Â 10 #10 Posted January 15, 2014 My grandfather started a painting and decorating business in 1910. W. Burgin & Son. Â Shop and workyard used to be on Duke St in Park District. It finished in 1960s when my dad ( he was the son!) was ill and couldn't carry on. Used to employ quite a few men at one time.
