The Globe Lawn - IVIower. 



A FIRST-CUSS MACHINE AT A LOW PRICE. 



Nothinsf indicates neatness and thrift about the house so well as a nicely- 

 kept lawn, or apiary, and no flower s'anlen is prettier than a nice green 

 sward evenly iuowed. Probably the reason more people do not have 

 these nicely kept lawns and apiaries is because they 

 were not able to get a tirst-class mower at a low 

 entniirh price. We have been on the lookout for such 

 a mower for some time, and we have succeeded in 

 jfetting- it at last. The Globe lawn-mower shown in 

 adjoining cut combines all the best features, and is a 

 flrstclass mower in every respect. Ha\-ing only three 

 knives it will cut longer grass than those having fotir. 

 The axle of the drive-wheel does not project, so 

 that you can run close to the hive. It has two 

 drive-wheels and roll- 

 er, and the driving 

 gears are simply per- 

 fect. Nothing could be 

 more simple and ef- 

 fective. The prices are 

 very much lower than 

 on any other first-class 

 mower, in fact they are 

 about as low as the 

 cheap grade of ma- 

 chines, and yet this 

 mower is not surpass- 

 ed by any machine on 

 the market, but Is guar- 

 anteed to be rtrst-class.

 same as on the Globe. 



No :ui!umcnt is needed to convince \'ou that a nice
