Have you seen all of our Perkins Paste Merchandise?

Anybody who went to school in NSW of a certain age will likely remember Perkins Paste and the familiar pink plastic jar that it came in.

You haven't heard from us for a while ... but much has been going on behind the scenes. We are working with an agency on an exciting plan to "re-awaken the sleeping beast" that is the REMO General Store. You may have already noticed that our social media presence is greater. Here's a sample:

This week we feature this Brooklyn Bushfire Brigade design, the first of many new designs that we hope to be adding to the iconic REMO designs portfolio over the following weeks and months.

Got any ideas for us? Is there a cool bit of signage lurking somewhere in your neck of the woods? Send it through to us HERE.

There's a proud bit of old signage that hangs on the wall of the volunteer fire brigade shed in Brooklyn NSW.

In collaboration with the brigade, we have immortalised it as a REMO design, available on T Shirts HERE or Tote Bags HERE.

Brooklyn is a charming fishing and boating village that occupies a strip of waterfront along the southern bank of the Hawkesbury River north of Sydney. Surrounded by the extensive bushland of the Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park and the Muogamarra Nature Reserve.

The decision to form a volunteer Brooklyn Fire Brigade was made at a meeting in Brooklyn on 25 March 1943, when a local named Dan Malone was nominated as acting captain and 13 residents volunteered as firemen.

Today, thanks to both the surrounding bush and the adjacent motorway, Brooklyn is the busiest rural fire brigade in NSW, with an average of 140 callouts per year.

This REMO design story takes us to the Lower East Side of New York:

The 10th Street Baths (aka the Russian & Turkish Baths) is still the best place to get hot and wet in New York. This design made its debut as a REMO T Shirt way back in 1989 with blessing from owners Boris and David. It is a pretty faithful replica of their original tin sign.
