TOWNSEND'S TRIPLEX 



The Greatest 

 Grass-cutter 

 on Earth 



Cuts a 

 Swath 



Inches Wide 



Floats Over the Uneven Ground as a 

 Ship Rides the Waves 



One mower may be climbing a knoll, the second skimming 



a level, while the third pares a hollow. Drawn by one 



horse and operated by one man, the TRIPLEX will mow 



more lawn in a day than the best motor mower ever made; 



cut it better and at a fraction of the cost. 



Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, it will mow 



more lawn in a day than any three ordinary horse-drawn 



mowers with three horses and three men. 



Write for catalogue illustrating all types of Lawn Mowers.
