• Notes:
  Fitzpatrick was recognised as probably the earliest public relations consultant in this country. At the end of 1917, after positions in the Prime Minister’s office and the office of the Premier of New South Wales, he became the first paid secretary of the Millions Club, which had been formed in 1912 to promote Sydney and to attract commerce and other activities to the city with a view to its reaching a population of one million. The Club’s committee later noted that ‘Mr Fitzpatrick was a dynamic personality and demonstrated his flair for publicity by attracting public attention to the club andits mission.’ http://www.bookplatesociety.org.au/images/stories/Bookplate_Content/tnabsn_no28_web.pdf https://tentaclii.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/geo-fitzpatrick-of-sydney-lovecrafts-australian-correspondent/
