1951-1963 issue: 1d R2. Background: *David Jones was a
Welsh merchant who met Hobart businessman Charles
Appleton in London. Appleton had established a store
in Sydney in 1825 and Jones subsequently established
a partnership with Appleton and moved to Australia
in 1835, and the Sydney store became known as
Appleton & Jones. When the partnership was
dissolved in 1838, Jones moved his business to
premises on the corner of George Street and Barrack
Lane, Sydney. Jones survived the depression of the
1840s, and by 1856 had retired from active
management of the business. A few years later when
the firm failed, Jones returned to manage its
affairs and in a few years had fully discharged all
obligations to his creditors. Device: Preprinted sideways (up or
