G'day folks,

I'd think that Kirby, Doutty & Wicks was a subsidiary of James N Kirby Pty Ltd - note the line 'A Unit of the James N Kirby Organisation'. James N Kirby was a very diversified company, with quite a few 'operating divisions'.

Note also the list of 'occupations' in this Bio of JNK - and it's by no means exhaustive! http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/kirby-sir-james-norman-10749

Cheers,
Gadge
