In 1939 a new Vauxhall GY25 sedan was purchased to replace the Graham Paige but Stubby did not like the Vauxhall so returned the next day and bought the Graham Paige back for less than he had been allowed as a trade-in! The Vauxhall became Ollie's car and has remained in the family to this day being restored in 1994 to celebrate the 80th birthday of the Newsagency.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Len and the Stubbs' 1939 Vauxhall.                                                            The Vauxhall at Ballarat, February 1999, for Lyndel's [Keva's niece] wedding.                                                                                                                      Due to the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 changes through the 1940s were minimal.                                                                                                                    Baby needs and a dry cleaning agency were the only new introductions. The Herald and the Sun                                                                                                                    increased in price to 2d per copy in 1941 and the Weekly Times went from 4d to 6d in 1949.

Len and                                                                                                                    Audrey's daughter Loryl was born in February 1945 and at the conclusion of the war Len was                                                                                                                    discharged and returned home to take over the management of the Newsagency while                                                                                                                    Ollie retired to help raise her first grandchild.                                    The Stubbs' Home at 48 Sutcliff Street.             When Len returned from the war, he, Audrey and Loryl remained with       Bert & Olive while they saved to build their own home.
