The British-Australasian Tobacco Company Limited was an Australian tobacco manufacturer[1] with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.[2][3][4]
The company was formed by a merger of the Dixson Tobacco Company Limited and William Cameron Brothers and Company Proprietary.[3][5] Sir William Dixson was company director from 1903–1908.[3]
The company seems to have still been operating under this name in 1942 but later became part of the WD & HO Mills (Australia) Group.[6]
