IT plows — it harrows — it seeds — it cul- 

 tivates. It mows lawns — mows hay — hauls 

 loads — in short, it's a mechanical horse, ever 

 ready to do any one horse work at | horse 

 cost — wherever and whenever you want it. 

 Makes you independent of hired outfits. It's 

 the original garden Tractor. 



It's also a self propelling, portable power plant — does any 

 4 h.p. belt work. Useful the year 'round. 



It develops 2 h.p. on the drawbar — 4 hup. on the belt — 

 S.A-E. Rating.

TOWNSEMD'S TRIPLEX 



'i-J^JOWMSENO'S TRIPLEX- 



Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, the 

 TRIPLEX MOWER 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 horsedrawn mowers with 



three horses and three men. One mower may be 

 climbing a knoll, the second skimming a level and 

 the third paring a hollow. Does not smash the grass 

 to earth and plaster it in the mud in springtime nor 

 crush out its life between hot rollers and hard hot 

 ground in summer as does the motor mower. 



The Public is warned not to purchase mowers infringing the Townsend Patent No. 1 ,209,519, Dec. 19, 1916.
