A fairly wondrous compendium of Australian advertising, marketing and packaging from the first years of Commonwealth registration. The 1905 Trade Marks Act came into action on 2nd July 1906, superseding the varied laws of each colony, so we're pretty close to the beginning with this volume. We're also blessed by painstaking bookkeeping with entries updated for decades - through to the sixties when, I would guess, volumes such as this, were declared obsolete. This one seems devoted to foodstuffs.
