Contextual Information

The British-Australasian Tobacco Company Limited was an Australian tobacco manufacturer with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.
The company was formed by a merger of the Dixson Tobacco Company Limited and William Cameron Brothers and Company Proprietary. The parent company was founded in England, circa 1902. Sir William Dixson was company director from 1903-1908. The company seems to have still been operating under this name in 1942 but later became part of the WD & HO Mills (Australia) Group.(ref: University of Melbourne Archives, "FEDERATED TOBACCO WORKERS' UNION OF AUSTRALIA, VICTORIAN BRANCH" collection)
