DISTRICT EXHIBITS QUEENSLAND ROYAL SHOW It augurs well for Queensland that widespread enthusiasm should evidence itself at this period with the close proximity of that great State institution, the Royal National Show. Occupying as it does a conspicuous and useful place in the life of the community, this State exhibition as sumes more completely each year that representative aspect of Queens land's immense resources as a great agricultural State, and perhaps in no section of the show is this fact better exemplified than in the district exhibits, which feature so vividly the wonderful quality of the primary products, which include a surprising range of luscious sub-tropical fruits of great commercial value. The following districts have already lodged entries in the A grade district exhibits, which embrace primary products and manufactures:— North Coast of N.S.W., South Coast of Queensland, West Moreton and Daily Text WAIT on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27 : 14. Wide Bay and Burnett. West Moreton has annexed the principal honour in this section for the past two years, whilst last year the North Coast of N.S.W. ran a very close second. In the B grade exhibits, which cover primary products only, five districts have nominated, including a new entrant—Caboolture—which also includes the Pine River and the district lying between Zillmere and Beerburrum. The other districts are Kingaroy, Mackay-Charters Towers, Nanango, and Oakey. In the one farm section the following entries have been lodged:— J. Beck, L. D. Christensen, A. Lofgren, and J. T. Whiteway. The official prize schedule, which is now available to all intending exhibitors, contains a fund of information regarding every section of the show. Any exhibitors who have not yet received their copy should write in at once to the secretary, Royal National Association, Courier Building, Queen-street, Brisbane, from whom all information can be obtained.

The 1901 Census has Albert Twomey, Baker and Grocer, at 102 Shandon St. As does the 1911 Census. Meanwhile, there's a Denis J. Murphy, publican U.D.C. at 104 in 1901, whereas it's Kate Seehan, shopkeeper in 1911. So probably before 1911?

Those greenhouse things on the first floor look a bit unusual ... or not ?

Dog alert Klaxon Woof !

No luck on 102-104 in the DIA or NIAH.

Father and son duo Alfred and Frank Wimmer arrived in Australia in 1887 from Germany, armed with an original cordial recipe made from Sarsaparilla root, with plans to establish a soft drink factory and start brewing. In 1910 the Wimmers family set up a soft drink manufacturing plant at Nambour on the Sunshine Coast, later moving to Cooroy where it is still manufactured today. It was at the Sunshine Coast plant Wimmers Soft Drinks became the first company in Australia to blend and develop Lemon Lime and Bitters in a bottle. One hundred years later, Wimmers Soft Drinks still uses the same old recipes to ensure their beverage range tastes as good today as it did all those years ago. The Wimmers Soft Drink brand has evolved over the years and has cemented its market share through a commitment to providing innovative new products whilst still delivering the reliable quality of the 100-year-old recipe. While the process of making soft drinks has changed dramatically throughout the last 100 years Wimmers Soft Drinks still taste the same. Maintaining that quality with good service is the secret to success. The company has overcome some major challenges in its hundred-plus years including the arrival of the global soft drink giants, the invention of the screw cap, and the modern trend of retailers aligning with exclusive brands.
