Objects of Substance - The Wilkinson Safe

The Brisbane Courier, 23 August 1912, p 4

The store was founded by brothers, Abraham and Adolphus Hertzberg, who ran the shop from 1889 to 1932. Herein lies an unexpected connection to the School — their respective daughters, Pauline and Olga, were students at Girls Grammar, both attending from 1905, aged eight, and both leaving in 1914 at 17 years old. The cousins were suspected to be sisters at first, although their different home addresses contradicted this. They were both high achievers in very different ways.
