'...CITROEN for everyone everywhere.' (UPDATE: 453 Ann Street)

In the 1920's the Citroen Agent in Brisbane (Australia) had a building in Ann Street in the City. The building was recently demolished leaving some of the paint of the sign stuck to the mortar of the building next door. Attached are photos. The sign reads, "The world economy car CITROEN for everyone everywhere" . We were not able so far to locate vintage photos of the building back. We found one nice non-Citroën shot of Ann Street and another superb vintage shot of the nearby Queen Street. Any Aussie Citro-fan who has a twenties dealer brochure of Brisbane in his collection?

(UPDATE by David Manson, Sydney:The Citroen dealer in 1920s Brisbane was Brisbane Equipment Co., 453 Ann Street. Their only other agency was Ruggles trucks. Nice to see the dieresis over the "E"! Citroens were popular here, and successful in competitions and record-breaking. The first car to go right around Australia was a 5cv Baby.)
