  Facinating. There's a lesson too; don't eat too many sweets because it makes you unfit!

  Is there any way to find out about Employee lists for around that time? The second lady looks like my grandmother.

• State Library of Queensland said:

  Shelly Whitby Shelly Whitby. The only information I could find in our catalogue was that this photograph was from the 32259 Photographic negatives of early Brisbane businesses collection. Unfortunately, I could not find any more information on the G.E. Adams, Rich Cake Specialist shop. I would advise you to place in a Research and Information enquiry request to have a librarian view our collection. Visit www.slq.qld.gov.au/plan-my-visit/services/ask-us .

  In 1927, G.E. Adams, a cake manufacturer, acquired the titles for two lots (just over 61 perches) in Costin Street for the purposes of building a modern factory and offices. Two houses on the site were removed and an application for the construction of the factory approved by the Greater Brisbane City Council in 1926. The estimated cost of the building was £6 000 and the builders were A. Stonadge and Son. Sidney W. Prior designed the one storey brick building for Adams. The new factory in Costin Street was claimed to be “the most up-to-date and hygienic factory of its kind in Queensland” with electric revolving ovens, modern machinery and a modern freezing plant for the storage of ingredients. The factory produced 14 tons of cake each week. Within two years, the building had been extended and improvements added. By 1946, the additions running the length of the building on the eastern and western sides had been built. Source: heritage.brisbane.qld.gov.au/heritage-places/2421
