The origins of "Trottermatic"

The name "Trottermatic" started as a joke within the Trotter family and close friends.  Just about anything George worked on, grew or produced from the 1970's on were tagged jokingly "Trottermatic". 
There was Trottermatic wine, Trottermatic watermelons, Trottermatic Deer-Go-Getter, Trottermatic Athletes foot medicine. The list goes on and on. 
The label "Trottermatic" may not have been the first choice of a marketing executive, however the name sure did stick!

  



A little about me.

I live in Westfield  Indiana, which is a suburb north of Indianapolis.   I have lived in Indiana for over 18 years.  

 I decided to document my father's work  before this information was lost. 

 If you have any questions or information you would like to share about George H. Trotter, please contact me at Skytrotter@aol.com.

Sincerely,

Mark A. Trotter
