Cobb and Co
Cobb & Co is the name of a transportation company in Australia. It was prominent in the late 19th century when it operated stagecoaches to many areas in the outback and at one point in several other countries, as well.
Alfred Deakin, Australia's second Prime Minister, was once a manager of Cobb & Co. Today it is a luxury coach operator in Melbourne and is owned by the Dyson Group.
==The Company==
Initially trading as The American Telegraph Line of Coaches, the company was established in 1853 by four Americans Freeman Cobb, John Murray Peck, James Swanton and John Lamber〔"Coaching Days in Australia", Volume 2,''The Australian Junior Encyclopaedia'', AJE Publications (Vic) Pty Ltd, Melbourne 1962〕 but only rose to prominence when bought by James Rutherford and a consortium of nine other partners in 1861. Rutherford's partners included Alexander William Robertson, John Wagner, Walter Russell Hall, William Franklin Whitney and Walter Bradley. Rutherford re-organised and extended the Victorian services and although winning a monopoly on major mail contracts, he found the advancing railways fast making Cobb & Co's Victorian routes redundant.
