IDEAL Power Mowers do more than merely 

 cut the grass. In the saiiie operation they 

 trim borders closely, roll the lawn to velvety 

 smoothness and greatly retard the ravages of 

 worms and other lawn pests. All this is done 

 at a small fraction of the cost when done by 

 hand. 



An ordinary laborer can be trusted with 

 the simple, sturdy Ideal mechanism, lie will 

 do the work of from three to five men with 

 hand mowers and rollers. 



Interesting inforniation on lawn care will be 

 .sent upon request.
