Ice cream
Bulla dairy Foods was founded in 1910 by Thomas Sloan, in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne, as the Bulla Cream Company. William Sloan, the brother of Thomas, owned a farm in Bulla and provided the milk used to make the cream.[3] Thomas had developed a new method of thickening cream by burning wood, creating heat to pasteurise the cream in copper cans.[3] The product was distributed by horse and cart, and the copper cans were draped with wet bags to keep them cool during transportation.[4] In 1914, Thomas Sloan's brother in law, Hugh Anderson, became a partner in the business. In 1918, Hugh Anderson's brother Jack also joined Bulla Cream company.[4] Thus the company was operated by three interrelated families. The responsibilities of the business operations were split among the three men, marketing and product distribution were the responsibility of Jack Anderson and Thomas Sloan, while Hugh Anderson was responsible for production.[4] The name Bulla came from the origin of the place, where the milk was initially supplied by Sloan's brother. His farm was in Bulla, a town North West of Melbourne. The copper cans filled with cream were transported to Moonee Pond and had the label ‘Bulla’, so the company's name was unintentionally created.[3]
