Anthony Horderns delivery cart, during mid-yearly sale, c. 1912

As the largest department store in Sydney, Anthony Horderns Palace Emporium ran a fleet of horse-drawn wagons to service its customers. While these deliveries mostly ran smoothly, they were not without danger. In May 1912 a young apprentice, Thomas Skidmore, was left in charge of a Hordern’s cart on Cronulla Street, Carlton. While waiting near the train tracks, the horses took fright and bolted in front of an oncoming train. The cart was destroyed, but Thomas survived by jumping off before the train hit.
