About Frederick Seales
My grand father was very much the Victorian gentleman, quitely spoken, he was born into a family of letterpress printers, his family started and ran newspapers in central Victoria Birragurra Pyramid Hill and Inglewood, he had a business at Hamilton and sold out in 1907 went to West Australia to help his brother in law where they started printing a news paper at Marble Bar staying for 7 ys. Then he started in Flinders lane Melbourne a print shop called Seale Press, his son in law John Davey also worked there, this firm was still operating in 1972 as I was contacted to give a reference by the then owner who was very surprised that I also owned a small offset print shop and that Fred was my grand father, I sold out before most small plants closed when computers arrived on the scene in the early 1970s
In 2010 I met a chap in Melbourne who actually worked for my grandfather, saying he had to sign a paper stating he did not drink smoke or gamble before starting employment, he said they printed swing tickets and general stationary etc, for the swanky shops of Melbourne, like Buckley and Nunn and Myers etc. Warren Embury 2012
