Abstract

Quote: "In 1923 Bond had begun the first significant attempt to spin and weave cotton in Australia by establishing a mill at Wentworthville. With government support, cotton was grown mainly in Queensland where his company owned two cotton farms; from 1926 it received a bounty for manufacturing yarn from local cotton. In 1926 he formed a subsidiary company, George A. Bond Cotton Mills Ltd."
