The man who paid Sydney's pipers

BORN in Sydney's inner west in 1919, Abraham Gilbert Saffron was the fourth child of a draper and mercer of Russian-Jewish stock. He was educated at Sydney's Fort Street High School, and his first brush with the law occurred at 19 when he was caught acting as a runner for an SP bookie. Two years later he was charged with receiving six stolen car radios and was given a six-month suspended sentence. In 1946 he acquired the lease on the West End hotel in Balmain and started acquiring shares with silent partners in five more hotels across Sydney before purchasing his first piece of Kings Cross real estate.

The Roosevelt nightclub at 32 OrwellSt became the most glamorous nightspot in the country, frequented by entertainers, politicians, socialites, gangsters and US servicemen. Topless showgirls were allowed on stage provided they remained perfectly still.

All Turners Certified auction cars will come with a six-month mechanical breakdown warranty, full service history for every vehicle, 105 point check and finance is available on all cars through Turners Finance.
