Frederick Dalgety
I notice that you have added the following text the article on Frederick Dalgety:
“...in the development of large-scale facilities for financing and organizing the production and marketing of rural produce. He was one of the first merchants to see the potentiality and needs of the squatters, and to exploit the mercantile and financial resources of Britain for the growing requirements of the Australian economy.
