Canada Cycle & Motor Agency, Ltd. (Sydney)

The George Street, Sydney, branch briefly marketed C.C.M.C. motorcycles in 1903. Waratah motorcycles were initially manufactured by CCM Sydney, who from at least 1910 assembled Waratah bicycles from standard parts, or rebadged BSA bicycles. W.A. Williams had been the manager of the Sydney branch of this business and in 1905 he bought it, retaining the name until 1913.
In 1913 the bicycle and motorcycle part of the business was taken over by his sons, Perce and Reg, and the name was changed to Williams Bros and later P and R. Williams.
