I found this advert in the 'Buckinghamshire Advertiser' dated 2nd November 1956:
“PART-TIME CASHIER, AGED 18-30, REQUIRED IN HIGH CLASS RADIO AND TELEVISION SHOWROOMS. SATURDAYS ONLY — BRENDONS (BUCKS) LTD., STATION PARADE, GERRARDS CROSS, BUCKS. GERRARDS CROSS 4552.”
... and this listing in the 'Sunday Express' dated 6th October 1964:
“BRENDONS (BUCKS), LTD., 10, Burkes Parade, Beaconsfield, Bucks. Beaconsfield 2531.”
... and this piece in the 'Middlesex County Times' dated 17th October 1964:
“HOW IT ALL BEGAN - This Is the Diamond Anniversary year of The House of Squire, but the story of the Squire family's association with the musical industry goes back to the year 1829 when the present Chairman's great grandfather, William Squire, skilled in the art of cabinet making, came to London and started a pianoforte manufacturing business. He was succeeded in 1856 by his son who, whilst continuing the business, formed the company B. Squire and Son. In 1892 Ernest Squire, the subsequent founder of the House of Squire, entered the family business and, after twelve years of pianoforte manufacturing, commenced in 1904 the present retail store in Ealing's New Broadway. It was in 1928 that Roy Squire, son of the founder, and present Managing Director, entered the family business and since those early days the House of Squire has grown steadily. With the comparatively recent development of the record, radio and latterly the television industries, it has widened its connections and extended its activities to cover the West London area with branches in Ruislip and an associate company, Brendons (Bucks.) Ltd., in Gerrards Cross and Beaconsfield.”
... and this classified advert in the 'Acton Gazette' dated 1st January 1976:
“RECORD SALES ASSISTANT Aged 16-18 required in our record department. A most interesting occupation for anyone who likes pop and classical music. 5-day week. Apply: The Manager, BRENDONS (BUCKS.) LTD., 9 Packhorse Road, Gerrards Cross. Tel: Gerrards Cross 84552.”
