The photograph shows the Royal Mail wagon outside Herbert's General Store in the main street of Orbost. This store was one of the first in Orbost, located in the lower (southern) section of Nicholson Streety. Lancelot Herbert had come to Orbost in c.1886 to become a partner in the store with Massey Coote. After Mr Coote's death in 1891, Herbert bought out the partnership. Progressively, the Herbert family went on to own many businesses in Orbost, Cann River and Noorinbee. This is a pictorial record of transport in 19th century Orbost. It is associated with the Herbert family.A black / white photograph of a travelling salesman and his samples on the Orbost Coach outside Herbert's grocery store. Two other men are standing nearby.

George Temple, born in Yorkshire on 26/2/1832 was one of the earliest Orbost storekeepers. Temple's Store was on the corner of Ruskin and Nicholson Streets opposite the post office. He packed stores to the Bendoc area goldfields. The store building eventually became part of Herbert's store when he died in 1917. This hessian bag was likely used for packaging and transporting goods from Cunninghame (later Lakes Entrance) to Orbost. George Temple was one of Orbost's earliest storekeepers. This hessian bag represents the earliest form of transport of goods, possibly by boat or maybe by wagon from Cunninghame to orbost. A large piece of hessian - probably an opened bag which was used for sending goods. The material is pinned around cardboard. It has black lettering stencilled on it."1850 G.

These items were relics from the Herbert's Stores, Orbost, demolished mid 1970s. Herbert's Stores operated from c.1886 to 1970 in Orbost and also in Cann River. In Orbost, the main store was located on the s.e. corner of Nicholson Street and Ruskin Street. A feature of the store was the Lamson Cash-Carry mechanism which transported money and receipts to and from a central cashier. This was a rapid-wire mechanism attached to the ceiling of the shops. These items are significant because of their association with the Herbert's Stores in Orbost. Also, these itemns are a rare survivors of the Lamson cash-carry mechanisms which were installed in many larger shops in Australia during the first half of the 20th century.A collection of items from the Herbert's Stores, Orbost.
