Sir Joseph Clifton Love (1867-1951), manufacturer and businessman, was born on 18 January 1867 in Brisbane, second son of Harry Clifford Love, Dublin-born storekeeper, and his English wife Ann Paton, née Bell. Educated at Brisbane and Sydney Grammar schools, he followed his father, founder of Clifford Love & Co., tea merchants, in mercantile and manufacturing pursuits. Clifton was manager of the Imperial Manufacturing Co. Ltd which joined with his father's firm in 1911 when he became manager of the new firm Clifford Love & Co. Ltd; in 1919 he became general manager. The firm, manufacturers of cereal and kindred foodstuffs (notably 'Uncle Toby's Oats', 'Wade's Cornflour' and 'Laundrena Starch'), operated throughout Australia and their establishments included oatmeal mills at Kent Street, Sydney, and large cornflour and starch mills on the Lane Cove River.
