Leading golf clubs throughout the United 

 j States, as well as abroad, use 



"PENNSYLVANIA" a* Lawn Mowers 



because they do the best work with the least labor and expense. 

 They are automatically self-sharpening, easy-run- 

 ning, perfect-cutting, and remarkably durable. 





"The new I 7 -in. ball- 

 bearing, close-cutting Golf 

 Mower supplied this year, 

 I consider one of the 

 cleanest-cutting, sweetest- 

 running machines on the 

 market. I used it on our 

 Greens during the Amateur 

 Championship with satis- 

 factory results.

Each " Pennsylvania " 

 blade is of crucible tool 

 steel — oil-hardened and 

 water-tempered — an ex- 

 clusive feature. 



This high quality steel 

 keeps the self-sharpening 

 feature effective. A 

 "Pennsylvania" stays keen 

 a dozen years without re- 

 sharpening. 



A 'Pennsylvania" never 

 runs hard, but is light- 

 running and perfect cut- 

 ting even after long 

 service. 



Another advantage is 

 the long wheel-base 

 which spans ruts and in- 

 equalities, making smooth 

 work possible over un- 

 even lawns.
