Some info on Shelley's Soft Drinks.
Shelley's Soft Drinks started in Broken Hill, NSW.
Moved to Sydney in 1927 trading as Shelley & Sons Cordial Factory Ltd. The Shelley family are still making soft drinks and are sold as Bert's Soft Drinks (Bertshell Pty Ltd).
The same range of drinks now all branded "KIRKS" were known as:
Shelley's - New South Wales
Halls - South Australia
Gest - Western Australia
Kirks - Queensland
Marchents - Victoria
Now fully owned by Coca Cola Amatil.
I remember the advertising as "Get stuck into a "Shelley's" 'cause it's our state drink"
