; ALEXANDER SHANKS & SON, in presenting their LAWN MOWERS for the approaching Season, are gratified 
. to be able to state that the demand for their celebrated Machines is rapidly increasing. 
A. S. & Soy, in introducing Improvements into their Machines, have been careful that no Improvement be intro-

construction, which have always been a peculiarity of their Machines, should still remain. 
_ _ A. 8. & Sow can confidently assure their numerous Friends and Customers and the Public generally that their en- 
deayour will always be to supply a Machine, first-class in every way, one which cannot be surpassed if even equalled, 
whether for simplicity of construction, ease in working, or durability. None but the best materials and skilled work- 
‘en are employed in the manufacture of their Machines.
