Crane History 

Crane History - Coles 100 Yeras 

In 1979 Coles decided to celebrate the centenary of the firm by making a book about its own history. This was basically publicity material which would be given to customers buying cranes. 
 
Now some twenty five years on this book is somewhat of a rare item. It is however quite a good book and is a fairly definitive history of the firm up to this date. 
 
The book is full of pictures and asides about Coles related things. 
 
Many thanks to Tony Moon for the information on this page.
