Hello ODK History Lovers
There is so much that should be recognised and recorded about Owen Herbert Cox
and his Company, originally located at the inner Brisbane suburb of Woolloongabba,
Brisbane, Queensland.

The Company seems to have been formed in the early 1950s, and it made air
compressors under the brand Air Rite.

These exciting photos, held by the Brisbane City Council Libraries, show the
premises in 1960. Of particular note is the building advertising at 61
Ipswich Road, Woolloongabba. This was a retail showroom showcasing their
products of 1960. To my best evidence, the small factory was located behind
the showroom in the side-street.

Before I comment on them, it's best you see them. I attach larger versions
for your viewing pleasure. Have a look and I will continue the story
in Part Two.
