OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Collectables VICTA - 1950s Picture Theatre Slide

Hello Collectors

When I got this slide I was curious about the slogan:
"Pampers Fine Lawn; Eats Through Jungle Growth"

It does appear to be a variation on a Victa advertisement from late1956:
"We keep our lawns velvet smooth.."
"We cleared our land of jungle growth"
I covered that advertisement in this post HERE.

I have found another variation from another dealer from early 1957
"Cuts fine lawn to perfection"
"Eats through tough jungle growth"

This gives me confidence in dating this slide to late 1956 or early 1957.
It was a dealer variation on the original 1956 Victa advertisement.

What is also of interest is the second dealer's advertisement comes from a
Sydney (Fairfield) dealer who also sold ... pet foods.
I guess it was a place where Rover could meet Victa

I have included a downloadable pdf file at better resolution.
