Registered Trademark Jam Labels in WA in August 1900. National Archives of Australia (A11802/1886 & A11802/1887)"Shortly after my visit to Camperdown, the enterprising brothers bought some land at Annandale, and erected upon it a small building, which season by season has required enlargement, and in which many improvements have been gradually introduced. Instead of twenty, the factory now gives employment to nearer 200 workers during the busy season; while about 100 persons of both sexes are regularly employed throughout the year.
For the benefit of those who have never seen jam-making on a large scale, I will relate briefly what I saw on my last visit to Annandale, when, by the kindness of the business manager, I was initiated into the mysteries of jam manufacture.
