In 1930 Frederick Irwin Worthley opened a hardware store on Port Rd at Hindmarsh with his wife. During the depression, people would collect butt ends of solder and bring them in to Fred and he would pay them cash. He then remelted the ends into sticks of solder to sell in the hardware store. Allen’s son Brett started in 2000 and is now proudly managing Worthley’s.
