Weighted with Water. 



Think of it — A lawnroller whose weight can be adjusted to the conditions of your lawn, 

 garden or tennis court. 



^ A light Machine for the soft, wet spring lawn 

 All in one-' A heavy Machine for the hard, dry summer lawn. 



f A heavier Machine for the driveway or tennis court. 

 Why buy one of the old style iron or cement fixed weight rollers that is generally too heavy 

 or too light to do your lawn the most good, paying for two or three hundred pounds of useless 

 metal — and freight on it as well — when less money will buy a better and more efficient 

 machine in the 



"Any weight " Water Ballast Lawn Roller. 



Remember that a difference of 50 pounds in the weight of a roller may mean success or ruin 

 to your lawn— that a half ton machine will spoil it in early spring as sure as fate, while a two 

 hundred pound roller is absolutely useless later in the season. 



If you desire a fine, soft, springy turf of deep green, instead of a coarse, dead looking 

 js^ patch of grass, use an"Anyweight.** 



The "Any weight" Water Ballast Roller is built in 3 sizes, all of 24 inch diameter and of 

 24, 27 and 32 inch widths. The machine shown here (our smallest) weighs but 1 15 lbz. 

 empty, 470 lbs. when completely filled with water and 737 lbs. with sand. The other sizes 

 weigh 124 and 132 lbs. empty and from that "anyweight" you require up to half a ton. 

 Filled in 30 seconds emptied in a jiffy. Fully protected by our patents. Runs easy 

 a lifetime

 teresting book on "The Care of the Lawn," together with folder about the "Any- 

 weight." Write us today. Save money — save your lawn.
