Olaus and his sons start delivering blocks of ice to homes in Western Sydney.

Olsson Industries is formed by Norman Olsson, Olaus's youngest son, along with his sons Charles and Malcolm. This was in response to a demand from graziers for supplements to support the nutritional needs of their livestock during a severe drought.
