Trimo;

Tree-mo

or

Try-mo

Not a long I , because it doesn't end with a vowel, originally Trimont....Shortened by the lazy advertising folks ;P

PS: Would also note 'Tremolo'

So, really, it should be an -eh-

Tr-eh-m-oh

2c...won't buy you the sugar for your coffee...

I've heard it Treemoe. have one of these in a Trimo-Ferguson
rh-10 have 3 all slightly different but all with square head, haven't found a round head one yet.

I always thought it was pronounced Try-mo

This is how my buddy says it but I'm with tree-mo and I reckon tr-eh-mo is out there too.

Trimont would surely be "Try-mont", not "Tree-mont".

It follows the shortened version would be "Try-mo"...

General rules for English pronunciation (yeah, lots of exceptions) would indicate "trim-o."

I am going with Try-mo.  Name pronunciation never seems to follow any rules anyway, particularly between regions.

Digression alert!
You can't be truly Nebraskan unless you can correctly give the idiomatic regional pronunciation for the following Nebraska locales:  Hooper, Schuyler, Norfolk, Kearney, Beatrice.
Don't overdo green beverages today.

 Not going with correct pronunciation anything.
In America, if you are guessing, you go by the old schoolyard..........
slap-you-silly-if-you-insist-on-a-squirrely sounding name for generations. 

Tree-mont or Tree-mo will both get you by at fourth grade recess anywhere in the USA.
  Sounds like a funny tree maybe, but its a stretch to make much fun of it. 

Trem (bly) O
or
Try (harder)-mo  would both get you smacked around like a rag doll.


   My family name on my mother side was originally Fellowes, back before the revolution.
Could maybe get away with that prissy in Connecticut/Maine or somesuch,
       but take it down south for a couple generations??    Yeah, right !

  It turned into Fellers, as in ..........
"Them Fellers down on the corner."

      This is how my uncles and cousins sign their name to this day.

I have always said Try-mo and nobody has slapped be so far.

Ahhh, but send little Johnny Try-(and try and try) mo out on a St Louis 5th grade playground....

   You'd have to get real tough real fast.
Haven't we all been there?

   here on the east side, Mrs. Moore caught everyone! she just retired a couple of years ago. still remembers "the bunch"  that I was part of. that would have been 1965 or 66.

I've heard "Tree mo" Ferguson spoken by a upstate New Yarker Albany area and southern gentleman near Huntsville, Alabama. maybe it's a east of the Mississippi thing? or autobody tool thing?

My wife's family name is Loschen ( originally an umlauted "o" in German, and from the northwest low country region of Germany.  Those who don't know German come up with "sounds like lotion?"  as opposed to "sounds like lush-en?" )
So my brother in law's first name is Jurgen  (another perfectly good low country first name ) and he darned well stands by the correct pronunciation of his surname.
Anyone know a  proper Bostonian  to consult about this TRIMO / TRIMONT pronunciation?

I'm only a half hour away ;P

To speak Bostonian, drop all the r's, and pronounce every vowel as 'ah'....
