PART FOUR - POST WAR

When Australian lawnmower production resumed manufacturers faced a new world order,
an emerging working-class affluence, new technology, and a more competitive industry.

It would appear that Thomas Edwards, approaching retirement age, made a shrewd business

He would pass away on February 12, 1962 at Southport, Queensland.]

Rexmow Lawnmowers Proprietary Limited was formed in June of 1946. This company had great ambition -
with plans to export, and later planned to produce petrol and electric machines [It didn't].

Here is a 1957 photo of the showrooms:-
