Trove Tuesday - Scientific van Bergens?

Continuing my search for some mention of the van Bergen clan in Trove, after my discovery of the photos of my father-in-law, see Trove Tuesday - The Dutch Connection

I found this article in the Perth Sunday Times that will probably amuse my husband and his brothers.
My father-in-law was Johannes Arnoldus van Bergen, mostly known as Arno but sometimes known as John.

This is not my father-in-law as he never worked for this US company. I wonder if this John is related somehow, and why it made the Perth newspaper - must have been a slow news day!

"Smell expert" - such an interesting title and one you really don't see these days.
