Description:

Cth.19th lithograph of McLean Brothers and Rigg, Limited premises. The firm was established in Adelaide in 1879.

William McLean (1845-1905), merchant, from Dumfries, Scotland. The family arrived in Melbourne in 1853 and William completed his education. He was employed first by John McTier and later by the hardware firm, E. Keep & Co. After seven years McLean was ready to open his own hardware business and in 1870 he went into partnership with T. E.

In 1872 the partnership was dissolved and McLean was joined by his brother Joseph and William Rigg as McLean Bros & Rigg which specialized in wholesale and retail ironmongery, general hardware and machinery importing.
