Townsend's Golf Wonder Lawn Mower. 



THE ACKNOWLEDGED "BEST FOR PUTTING GREENS." 



The Golf Wonder LawnMower is. especially designed and manufactured for a " Putting Green" 

 Mower, and it is the acknowledged best for the purpose. It can be set to cut so close that it practically 

 shaves the turf or the knives may be raised to cut the grass at any desired height, leaving the surface as 

 smooth as a billiard table. It is used by many of the Golf and Country Clubs, and is invariably 

 considered a pronounced success. An iron roller (6 J inches diameter) in the rear and a small wooden 

 roller in front carry the machine perfectly true and level and do not dent or mark the " qreer.,' as 

 side wheel machines are apt to do when the ground is damp or soft, and besides the weight on these 

 rollers is usually sufficient to press flat any worm-casts. The two front wheels may be used or not as 

 desired. The reel is only 4i inches in diameter and has six knives, consequently their cutting edges 

 strike the grass in such close succession that they leave the turf absolutely free from corrugation and 

 smooth for true " putting." The very bast material is used in the construction of the Golf-Wonder 

 Mowers — the best quality of new iron in the castings and the highest grade of steel in the knives. All 



wearing parts are lathe turned or machine 

 trimmed, insuring trueness in fitting and 

 operation and the revolving knife reel 

 works in ball bearings, making it as light 

 running as is possible for a mower to be 

 that is furnished with so many close cut- 

 ting knives. These mowers are furnished 

 either with or without grass catchers. 

 With the catcher is supplied a patent fan 

 elevator that causes the fine cut grass to 

 enter the box and stay there until it is 

 dumped, which is quickly and easily done 

 by lifting the box from its socket. (See 

 engraving.) Prices (Strictly net. no charge 

 for packing or cartage.) 16-in. cut, S18.00; 

 18-in. cut, S20.00; 20-in. cut, S22.00.

The Wirt Golf Tee Stand. 



WE LETTER THE STAND WITH THE TEE HOLE NUMBER, 

 AND PAINT THE LOWER BUCKET IN CLUB COLORS. 



The Wirt Golf Tee Stand is an improvement which adds consider- 

 ably to the convenience and therefore the enjoyment of the players, 



while its appearance is also 

 very pleasing. 



The upper and lower bucket 

 carry water and sand respec- 

 tively and are so arranged, 

 that by merely tilting the top 

 one forward, the water is 

 poured on the sand in the 

 lower one. 



The brush fastened to the 

 side cf is, course, for scrubbing 

 the ball. The buckets are at 

 just the proper height for 

 quickly and easily washing the 

 ball and forming the tee. 



The stand, proper, is hand- 

 somely painted in green, and 

 the club colors and hole num- 

 bers are usually painted on the 

 buckets. The construction is 

 most substantial, being of tub- 

 ular steel. The frame may 

 also be galvanized after as- 

 sembling and in that way is 

 practically soldered into one 

 piece. This also affords com- 

 plete protection from the 

 weather. 



The convenience of the 

 Wirt Golf Tee Stand which is 

 very apparent to every player 

 together with its decorative 

 appearance, make it most 

 desirable for every up-to-date 

 course. (See engraving.)

Townsend's "Triplex" Horse Lawn Mower. 



CUTS A SWATH 86 INCHES WIDE AT ONE PASSAGE OF THE MACHINE. 



For large lawns, parks, golf courses, etc., it is a necessity. It cuts a swath over 7 feet (86 inches) wide: and does the work of two 

 motor mowers at one eighth of the expense. The yoked-together mowers adapt themselves to uneven surfaces, mowing over 

 ridges and through hollows as well as on level ground. Simple, durable and light runn ing. Easily drawn by one horse — all 

 day long — and operated by any man capable of driving. 



With the Triplex Mower one man and one horse will cut more 

 day than three men and three horses with three ordinary lawn mov 

 and will cut as much grass as any two motor mowers, cut i 

 without crushing the life out of soft turf — and at a small fraction 

 of the cost. 



The Triplex consists of three iawn mowers yoked togethe 

 two abreast, and one following in the center, lapping each 

 front mower, thus cutting a clear swath eighty-six inche 

 wide. As the three mowers work independently of 

 each other, and are so connected from their centers to 

 the main frame that they can swivel, rise and fall, they 

 therefore adapt themselves to the contour of the ground 

 — floating over ridges and down hollows — mowing the 

 grass as perfectly as on the level, and better than is 

 possible with a long straight-edged bottom knife mower 

 of any kind. 



On rolling ground the Triplex Mower shows its quali- 

 ties to perfection, holding to a side hill where a motor 

 mower will slid 2 side wise. It is of extremely light 

 draught, due partly to ball bearings and partly to the 

 excellence of design, material and workmanship. 



Three levers at the driver's right enable him to lift 

 any one or all of the cutting apparatus from the ground 

 to avoid obstructions, or in going to and from the field. 

 A small knob in the center of each wheel operates the 

 clutch throwing the machines in and out of gear. 



The mower is provided with a spring seat, ample foot 

 rests, shafts, iron tool box with tools and oil can. Net 

 weight, 600 lbs. 



The mowers are packed singly in crates, the frame 

 work is shipped assembled. It is only the work of ten 

 minutes to assemble the machines and attach the shafts 

 (See en graving.)
