Publisher: Hills Industries 1996
The story of the people who made the hoist an Australian icon.
Fifty years after it first appeared in a suburban back yard, the hoist is part of our culture, remembered by generations of kids who swung on it. The story is told by Hill's people: the families, factory workers, pay clerks, directors, technicians, Hills Hoist secretaries. Their yarns are defiant, proud, larrikin and often hilarious. They tell the struggles of ordinary people to survive against debt, competitors, taxes, the corporate predator while their business went from the backyard shed to the world.
