"While trying to assemble a list of names & dates of Cordial Manufacturers in Maryborough, we seem to have uncovered yet another "Maryborough Myth". The History of Maryborough, editions 1976 & 1996, state that J.R.Mansfield established the first Cordial Factory in Maryborough in 1859. However, Mansfield's name was Samuel, born about 1841 in Essex, arrived in Melbourne in 1862 & worked in the gold fields in Victoria, before coming to Gympie in 1867 for the gold rush there. The "Chronicle" reported on 2 Sept 1869 that he had taken over the factory of his brother-in-law George Sutton. The Mansfield family remained in business for 3 generations, & were still operating in the 1970s. Can anyone tell us the exact date they closed? Any information & photos on any of the Cordial makers would be appreciated. So far we have 20 different firms, & there could be more."

Wonderful to find this photo. I've been researching my Howard family history related to Maryborough and surrounding areas, but especially in the town of Howard named in honour of my great grandfather William Howard.
