c1899
Operated from February – November 1899.
Research on the Katunga Aerated Water & Cordial Company so far suggests that the period of operation was only a few months. It’s possible that they started earlier than February 1899 but no evidence has yet been found to support that.
The introductory advertisement first appeared in the Numurkah Standard on the 1st February 1899 and last appeared on the 15th November 1899. Note that the company added “and Numurkah” to their title probably as a way of inducing more trade from that town. The following week (November 22nd) the notice of dissolution of the company appeared in the same newspaper.
