Familar brands to Kytherian shop-owners - mid-20th century and beyond.

On display at the Cobar Heritage Centre.

Many of the brands like Persil dishwashing powder, and Sunlight Soap, would be familiar to most Australians.

Other brands are familiar to those who grew up in "the West". The Orbell's soft drink factory in Dubbo, distributed soft drinks throughout the Western districts of New South Wales.

You will recognise other brands with which you were/are familiar.

Cobar Heritage Centre. 2005.

Many of the Heritage Centres in New South Wales' country towns are superior.

This one in Cobar is no exception.

Local heritage centres and Historical Societies can be an invaluable resource for researching Hellenic and Kytherian heritage.

Cobar. Main Street. March, 2005.

The main street of Cobar, NSW.

Cobar is a prosperous and well-presented town.

As mentioned in the previous entry Greeks/Kytherians have not operated stores of any kind there for many decades.

However the early Greek/Kytherian history needs to be explored and re-discovered.

Do any former Cobar residents and shop-owners, and their descendants have any information ot photographs that could lead us to rediscover Cobar's past?
