Hello ODK History Lovers

This is the earliest recorded billboard ad I have found for an Australian
lawnmower. It is for an Australian Presto, manufactured by William Adams

about 1932 (the year the Presto was introduced).

So, alongside Wrigley's and Peters ice-cream (Gosh it's Good) we see the
Presto ad, with its slogan The Magic Mower. It's a pity the Presto ad sits
above the Wunda toilet paper ad ...
