Todd Burns & Co., trading since 1834, from 1905 had their warehouse/department store located on the site of present day Penney's (formerly Ball's Bank) in Mary Street (corner of Jervis Street), Dublin 1. The large store boomed as shopping habits changed in the Edwardian period, and it became known for its readymade and made-to-order business. The hook to this was you could shop via their catalogue and get your purchases by post, meaning customers all around Ireland could shop there. Way ahead of the times..! Before that, shopping was all about selecting fabrics and trimmings from drapers and haberdashers and either making your clothes yourself or having your look created for you by a dressmaker. (Quoting Ruth Griffin, RTE article, 2023).
