Notes for Joesph Patrick Mangan: Joesph worked in advertising for " The Mail " newspaper.
The following was taken from the book "The Advertising Book Of Ireland " page 382.
A genuine advertising canvasser working in the city at the time was Tommy Mangan's farther, Joe who started on the Dublin Evening mail in 1890 and worked on the paper for 53 years, in 1943 he died on the job collapsing with a stroke while out canvassing. In all the 53 years with the mail he received no salary, selling advertising on a commission rate of 6 per Cent . A very consciences man Joe Mangan would accept no payment for advertising he didn't bring in personally...... Yet despite his commission only earnings Joe Mangan managed to bring up his whole family in reasonable comfort !
This statement was greeted by Peggy (Angella Mangan ) with with a comment that nine children would have to fight over the winter jumper begging the question of the writers understanding of Josephs' reasonably comfortable children.
The family home of Joesph and Mamie was a rented property at 36 Cabra Road where Thomas's (???) sisters Annie and Lizzy lived in the attic paying a rent of 4 bob.
Mamie moved to Corrig, Convent Road, Dalkey after Joesph's death when she purchased this house from their son Tommy.
