And as I mentioned earlier, the first mention of the term "Rotomo" appeared in the above pictured, small advertisement of the 20th of September, 1952. It all seems to fit pretty neatly, and according to bio's on the start of the Victa company, that small advertisement represents the earliest evidence of the company's establishment.

This is where it gets interesting; the following ad is from the 17th of March *1951*

To clear up any doubt, the next is from the 31st of March, *1951*

So Victa was selling mowers a full 18 months before previously thought...release the dogs
