Abstract

***.“Jacques Albert [1 January 1850-9 July 1914] set up business as a watch and clock mender at Newtown [Sydney], where the sound of his violin attracted music-lovers to his shop. In 1890 he decided to import violins, moved to premises in King Street, and adopted the boomerang as the firms trade mark. He also published handbooks on health, diet, cookery and conundrums.” Father of Michel François Albert (q.v.).
