HISTORY
The Commonwealth Wool and Produce Company Limited was a Sydney-based wool broking, stock, and rural agency firm active in the interwar period, with this 1929 certificate coming from its early growth years. Public notices show the company had changed its name from The Co-operative Wool and Produce Company, Limited to The Commonwealth Wool and Produce Company, Limited in 1925, and by the late 1920s it was conducting substantial Sydney wool sales, with one report noting a catalogue of 3,518 bales. Advertisements and later notices also show it operating from 3 Bent Street, Sydney and maintaining branches and country agency links.
