The Warrnambool permanent Building and Investment Society was established in May 1869. It relied on investors buying shares in the society, thereby providing the funds which were available to be borrowed to use in the building of houses. A considerable number of houses in Warrnambool would have been built using this scheme. The stated trustees in 1872 were Samuel Macgregor, C A Cramer, James Astley Bromfield, and the committee comprised of James Hider, W. W. Jamieson, James Coulstock, Archibald MacFarlane, Robert Newton, David Evans, NT C Stelling and W Jones. The bankers were the national Bank of Australasia. It had some difficulties in the 1870’s but was still operating well into the 1930’s where it again was not putting through the volume of business compatible with its resources and it had been found necessary to pay off a considerable number of fixed deposits and Investors’ shares. There is little mention of it after the mid 1930’s. This document provides details of an organization which operated in Warrnambool for over 60 years and proved beneficial to homebuilders and investors alike. It also has a number of well- known local names listed in their positions of operating the building society.Cream watermarked paper folded to four pages.

This sign advertised the insurance and investment services of AMP, with Steve Meyer identified as the district representative, telephone 821202. AMP, historically known as the Australian Mutual Provident Society, has a long association with insurance, financial services and investment products in Australia. Before online and telephone-based financial services became commonplace, insurance and investment companies frequently operated through local or district representatives. These representatives provided a personal point of contact for clients and could travel throughout their allocated district to meet individuals, families, farmers and business owners. In rural communities, local representatives played an important role in connecting residents with financial services that might otherwise have been centred in larger towns or cities. The sign is therefore representative not only of AMP advertising but also of the personal, locally based system through which insurance and investment services were once commonly provided in regional Victoria.A square sheet-metal advertising sign for AMP, promoting insurance and investment services through local district representative Steve Meyer. The sign has a white background surrounded by a narrow green border. The upper section features the traditional AMP logo in blue and white, incorporating the letters “AMP” within a decorative rectangular emblem. Below the logo, black lettering promotes the company's insurance and investment services and directs customers to contact the district representative. The lower section displays the name “Steve Meyer” in decorative handwritten-style script, followed by the telephone number 821202. The design combines the nationally recognised AMP branding with the name and telephone number of a local representative.The principal wording reads: AMP FOR ALL YOUR INSURANCE AND INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS CONTACT DISTRICT REP.
