Description: 1 Boy fishing on the lake Sweetacres tin for sale In 1875, James Stedman bought the confectionery business where he had been working for the past 21 years. The shop, in George Street, Sydney, marked the beginnings of a company that became Sweetacres, the inventors of some of Australia’s most iconic lollies including Minties, Jaffas and Fantales. Stedman began working in the confectionery business at the age of 14, rising to foreman at the company he bought from John M. Wright. By 1883 he was advertising the products of his “Steam works” located in Kent Street. As did many confectioners at the time, he also offered bakery products including wedding cakes and Christmas cakes. Some years later Stedman opened a factory in Clarence Street and, by 1889, was employing more than 40 people. His six sons, two of his brothers and two nephews also worked in the business. In 1894, an article in The Sydney Mail described in detail the workings of the factory, which produced a wide range of confectionery. Under the Lion brand were Butter Scotch, Tofflets and Lankee-Bill Toff-E. Stedman also produced conversation lollies, peppermints and boiled lollies such as lolly sticks (candy canes), bulls’ eyes, barley sugar, acid drops and fruit tablets.
