HISTORY
Swift and Company Limited was an Australian merchant and trading company that operated in Sydney for decades, with earlier records placing its registered office in Clarence Street and this 1971 certificate showing it later at 149–155 Milton Street, Ashfield, NSW. It was a city merchant house, import merchant house, and large import-export merchants. By 1971 it was issuing ordinary stock units with an authorised capital of $10,000,000, with an established mid-20th-century commercial firm serving Australia and likely New Zealand connections as well.
