expanded across the eastern seaboard, the southern states and California. In 1852, two representatives were sent to Melbourne to establish a branch office of the company, Freeman Cobb and George Mowton. Cobb left shortly afterwards in 1853 to
establish the largest Australian carting company of the 19th century, Cobb & Co. Mowton, who lacked a thorough grounding in business, banking and exchange stayed on, however, with little freight prospects to the United States, the Adams & Co.
