1920A very damaged booklet issued by the West Australain Grain Growers Co-Op in May 1920 on the subject of 'TEN POINTS ON BULK HANDLING'.
Paper is discoloured but contents are legible and of importance.

James Twine came to the colony as a labourer in 1833 and bought a farm in Guildford. He traded this farm with Dr Viveash's Toodyay holdings in 1852 in order to consolidate his land with his stepson's inherited lands. Further purchases during the 1860s lead to a 1400 acre property he called 'Newgain'. He and his sons also took large pastoral leases to the east and developed the neighbouring farm, 'Maisemore'. James Twine was an inaugural member of the Toodyay Road Board. He retired in 1874 and his sons took over management of the properties.
