This bottle may have held medicine used by a local early settler family. A local resident discovered it when digging his garden in McKinnon 2013. James Hardie immigrated to Australia in 1888 from Linlithgow, Scotland, and created a business importing oils and animal hides. Andrew Reid, also from Linlithgow, came to join Hardie in Melbourne, and became a full partner in 1895. When Hardie retired in 1911, he sold his half of the business to Reid. James Hardie Industries Ltd first listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in 1951 and is an industrial building materials company headquartered in Ireland which specialises in fibre cement products. James Hardie manufactures and develops technologies, materials and processes for the production of building materials. For over 20 years, Hardie has also operated a research and development facility devoted solely to fibre-cement technology. The company was a key player in asbestos mining and manufacturing in Australia through most of the twentieth century. Working with products containing asbestos - including the building material known as "Fibro" - caused people to develop various pleural abnormalities such as asbestosis and malignant mesothelioma. In December 2001, the company shareholders unanimously voted to restructure and relocate the company in the Netherlands as a parent company. This was part of a strategy to separate the company from the stigma of its asbestos liabilities. February 2010, James Hardie moved its corporate domicile from The Netherlands to Ireland, In May 2012 the High Court of Australia found that seven former James Hardie non-executive directors misled the stock exchange over the asbestos victims compensation fundA brown glass bottle, with finger grip handlearound bottom " THIS BOTTLE ALWAYS REMAINS THE PROPERTY OF JAMES HARDIE PTY.

This document is a personal and nostalgic account by Max CS Beck, reflecting on his childhood and Bendigo's social history during the 1950s and 1960s. Beck's father, Reg, owned and ran The Crown Hotel, which became a central social hub in Bendigo after World War II. The hotel was known for its lively atmosphere, especially during the '6 o'clock swill' when patrons rushed to buy and consume drinks before the 6 pm closing time. Colorful anecdotes, such as the story of a severed finger prank involving a tobacco tin, illustrate the camaraderie and humor among patrons. Drinking was a standing-only affair, with heavy smoking and loud conversation common. The ritual of last drinks and the clearing of the bar at closing time were daily highlights. Sawdust was used on the bar floor to manage spills and, humorously, to recover lost coins and even a diamond ring. The influx of American soldiers during the war brought new customs and challenges to local pubs, including currency confusion and overcrowding. Beck's father previously ran the Canadian Hotel in Seymour, which was popular with American troops. Beck recounts his mischievous childhood, including borrowing his father's car underage and the influence of hotel patrons on his upbringing. The narrative touches on the loneliness of having parents who worked long hours and hints at family struggles, particularly related to alcohol. Beck expresses a sense of loss for the Bendigo of his youth, noting how much the city and its culture have changed.He emphasizes the importance of treasuring memories of the past without grieving for what is gone.Bendigo Advertiser "Life the bar" and "the day a severed finger was in a pub" Sat Aug 08 2022 3486.56a Max C S Beck in front of the Old Crown Hotel 3486.56b Colour Photo Beck's Hotel Hargeaves St Bendigo in about 1980 3486.56c Article from the Bendigo Advertiser "Life the bar" and "the day a severed finger was in a pub"bendigo, beck's crown hotel, max c s beck
