Social History
Adolphus Herbert ‘Bert’ Frederick Norman Appleroth was born in Stanley Street, West Melbourne.
Adolphus Herbert Frederick Norman Appleroth (1886-1952), jelly manufacturer, was born on 30 December 1886 in West Melbourne, third surviving child of William Appleroth, a Russian-born driver, and his wife Emma, née Audebart, daughter of a Melbourne wine merchant. William had reputedly been a Russo-Finnish sea captain who jumped ship. The family moved to Sydney where Bert began work in 1902 as a messenger-boy at the Lipton’s Tea agency, then took a job as a tram conductor. He began experimenting with mixtures of gelatine and sugar in the bath in his parents’ home at Paddington, and hawked the jelly crystals that he produced door-to-door, using trams as transport. At St Michael’s Anglican Church, Sydney, on 19 February 1910 he married a 19-year-old dressmaker Ferri Marion Wotzasik.
Bert Appleroth named his product Areoplane Jelly in 1927.
