Carl Laubman
Carl Wilhelm Laubman (11 May 1878 – 8 July 1958) was an Australian optician, inventor, and co-founder of Laubman & Pank.〔()〕
==Early life==
Laubmann was born in Stepney, an inner suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. He was the eldest of seven children of John Laubmann, carpenter and joiner, and Sophie Caroline (née Matte), both of German origin. His only brother having died in infancy, he was raised with five younger sisters. Educated at Norwood Primary School, his family were in humble circumstances, so the teenager was early obliged to make his own way in the world.
Leaving school in 1892 aged 14, he was then employed and trained as an optician by noted Adelaide ophthalmologist Dr T K Hamilton.〔Towler, p 9〕 A patient perfectionist, he used woodworking skills learnt from his father to make his own optical cabinets and metal tools, all of the highest standard. In 1900, when he was 21, the family's situation worsened with the death of his father. That same year, having noted that optician services were in demand in rural and regional areas, the enterprising young man set up business on his own account in the mining town of Broken Hill. He also travelled to remote outback places, such as White Cliffs and Wilcannia, offering his services.
He married in Broken Hill in 1905 to local girl, Maude May Sullivan (1887–1948), whose parents were of Irish ancestry.〔Slee, p 51〕 Her grandfather, a miner, had sight impairment from a mining accident. Her father was a thriving transport contractor in Broken Hill, employing many men, a major client being the town council for its night cart service. Maude had outstanding musical talents. An accomplished pianist, she was also a popular contralto soloist locally.
