Peanut Butter Boy
Details of an oil painting by David's Grandfather, Jack Lynch (John Fitzstephen Lynch 22/11/1874-7/10/1939). Jack was a coach painter. The boy's painting was used for advertising on an ETA Peanut Butter truck. David thinks he was told the truck was in Melbourne's Moomba Festival. Jack died many years before David was born.
"ETA peanut butter was manufactured at the ETA Foods factory in Marrickville, which started as the Marrickville Margarine Company in 1908. Charles Abel, the founder, began producing peanut butter in 1925 as an alternative to butter during a shortage."
