They included this 1978 West Australian Historical Football Calendar.
It’s definitely an unusual item. Aside from the photographs of WA football stars of yesteryear Tom Outridge, Merv McIntosh, Stan “Pops” Heal, Haydn Bunton Senior, Carlisle “Bub” Jarvis, and George “Staunch” Owens, it includes a couple of great advertisements at the bottom.
The first is for the Happy Haven, which offered “girls galore” and a “padded pad for disciplined devils” if you were to visit them in Guildford Rd, Maylands.
The other, for the Birds of Paradise establishment that was just a short walk down Guildford Rd, invited visitors to “stay a while and share a smile with 2 happy-go-lucky girls” and promised “not to tell your wife”.
After a bit of research, I was able to confirm both businesses were owned by the same woman and Bayswater Hire Cars, with its “No Birds” slogan, moved into the building some time after Happy Haven left.
Dianne described the ads as being “pretty politically incorrect”, but I suppose the advertisers knew their market. In those days, women weren’t allowed to join as members of most clubs."
