PART SIX - Resurrection & Demise

Resurrection:-
This was the end of Lark, Parke Limited, but not the end of Prosper Lark and his New Moon mowers.

A new company was formed ... P.F. Lark & Company - and the new factory was located at
154 Albion Street, Surry Hills, just a short walk from the old factory.

Things must have been going okay ... because the majority of the advertisements for New Moon mowers
date from this period. It would appear that the Albion-Street address was a factory just for the
production of lawnmowers.

Here is the only record I have that was placed by the new company (directly), advertising
New Moon mowers. Note the large retailers mentioned in the ad.

Demise:-
For reasons lost to history, the new company did not survive. It, too, was liquidated and the
factory contents sold off in early 1930. The New Moon was no more.

This record - placed by the appointed machinery auctioneer is a unique glance at the factory contents
"the machinery" that made the New Moon mower. Note the second-last last item on the list. All very sad.
