ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

Joseph Palmer (1841-1930) established his stockbroking business in Sydney on 13 April 1872 and joined the Sydney Stock Exchange. His business flourished, sustained by a major mining boom in New South Wales, and from 1890 he took his sons into partnership. Joseph Palmer & Sons remains a family business and is the second-oldest surviving stockbroking firm in Sydney.
