Miller & Co Power Hacksaw Miller and Co. were Machinery wholesalers in South Melbourne. It was established in 1878 to import mining machinery for Victorian goldmines, but with the decline of Victorian mining the company turned increasingly to the sale of implements; drills, drill bits, skip wheels, patrons; stock registers as well as the reconditioning and resale of second- hand machinery.
