Summary

[General description] This three storey brick building is the premises of A.M. Bickford & Sons. Two of the firm's horse drawn delivery wagons are proudly posed in front of the building. On one of the wagons is an advertisement for Maltox, "The tonic drink for all". Advertisements for Bickford's "Our Jack" brand, featuring a kookaburra with the words "sign of quality" are displayed on the building. William Bickford, a chemist, arrived in South Australia in 1839 and established the first druggist in Hindley Street. Upon his death in 1850 his wife, Ann Margaret continued the business which later became A.M. Bickford & Sons in 1871. In 1874 Bickford's bought a cordial factory in Waymouth Street and the family firm still flourishes today (2009), trading as Bickfords Australia.
