  "Nan is already a spoiled child" wonder what that meant to the source of the line?

  More about "spoiled" Anna J. Gallant (1902-1936): sevensteeples.com/gallant1.html She was mother to Maurice Roy Sears (1920- 1985), and wife to Carroll Ernest Sears (married 1922). She only lived to age 34, but there are photos of her as an adult, on the fourth page of the same website: sevensteeples.com/gallant4.html

• Elijah said:

  pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) That's a great story, thanks for finding it. After seeing this poster from Hines: I'm thinking that perhaps the "spoiled" description is not the modern definition of spoiled by pampering, but a more general sense of decayed, or marred, induced by the soul-deadening work.

Process workers at work at the Golden Circle cannery in Northgate, ca. 1947

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Golden Circle began operations in 1947 after construction of the main canning factory at Northgate was completed. The new facility was opened by the then Premier of Queensland, the Hon Edward Hanlon. The company was originally called 'Queensland Tropical Fruit Products', with 'Golden Circle' used as their brand name. Golden Circle was initially part of the Committee of Direction of Fruit Marketing in Queensland (COD). Under the leadership of Bernard Flewell-Smith and Percival Savage, the cannery was established as a separate business. It was split off from the COD by an amendment to the Fruit Marketing Organisation Acts. Initially, the company processed and canned pineapples and produced fruit jams. Pineapples have been at the heart of the Golden Circle brand since its earliest beginnings. It is thought that they were first grown commercially in Queensland, with its rich soils and near perfect growing conditions, Source: www.goldencircle.com.au/our-story/heritage#:~:text=Golden....
