Walter was a bootmaker in William Street, Urana, NSW [1]. The
"Sands Country Alphabetical Directory 1909" describes his business as "clothier and cycle agent"; the 1917 edition states "general store". [2] He later had a store in Trundle, NSW - a store that burnt down in 1933:

Fire Sweeps Through Block Of Offices And Shops / SYDNEY, February 22. / A fire swept through a block of seven offices and shops in Forbes street, Trundle, early this morning. The fire started at Power's Cafe, and spread to the premises of the "Star" newspaper. Trundle Cash Store, W. Bolle's boot shop, and the premises of M. McRae, stock and station agent, and G. Grainger, chemist. The weatherboard shop occupied by T. Ellis, tailor, on the southern side of the block of the buildings, also caught fire. In the early stages the townspeople had to watch the buildings burn owing to lack of water. The block was destroyed except for the tailor's shop.
In 1934 he bought the business of Mr. H. S. Thomas in Mudgee, NSW. [4][5]
