Thanks! We'll add the information to the source data and reload the description.

“The Brand: Nil Simile (Latin for "Like Nothing Else" or "Without Equal") was a popular historical brand specializing in narrow-fitting footwear for ladies”

Miss Kitty O'Shea, daughter William P. O'Shea, boot merchant, of George's St and Quay, obtained her Teaching Certificate in music in 1935 (reported in Waterford Standard - Saturday 24 August 1935)

POOLEWP 3250 is a similar shopfront commissioned by Mr. O'Shea of George's St., presumably his shop on the Quay.
