THE LAWN 



There is nothing that contributes more to the ap- 

 pearance of a Country Home than a well-kept lawn. 

 Owners of fine residences, keepers of parks, city 

 squares, cemeteries, etc., now fully recognize this 

 fact, and are giving the matter very much more 

 attention than formerly. 



The farmer also is progressing in this line, real- 

 izing that well-kept surroundings are indicative 

 of prosperity and thrift. 



Some years ago only a few paid comparatively 

 much attention to beautifying their places in this 

 manner, but today mowers can be bought so low 

 that even the resident of the city, who has but a 

 small grass plat in his side yard, can well afford to 

 cast aside the primitive grass hook. 



On the following pages, devoted to this depart- 

 ment, will be found one of the most comorehensive 

 and extensive lines of LAWN MOWERS offered by 

 any house in the country. 



To the man who makes it a business of cutting 

 lawns. Darks, squares, cemeteries, etc.. or anyone 

 who has much cutting to do. we advise the use of 

 nothing but the BEST, for many reasons, promi- 

 nently among the first being nicely adjusted ma- 

 chines. They will do better work, last longer and 

 run lighter. 



Think for a moment how few days' work it will 



require to pay the difference between a first-class 

 mower and a cheap one; and how many days' work 

 can be saved by using the light-running machines, 

 enabling the operator to use a wider cut bv reason 

 of the draft; then again, HOW MUCH BETTER 

 THE APPEARANCE OF THE LAWX. 



We claim that in consideration of the LARGE 

 NUMBER OF MACHINES THAT WE REPAIR 

 each year, we become better posted in the con- 

 struction of LAWN MOWERS than other dealers, 

 and are, in consequence, necessarily in a better 

 position to judge them. In this connection, we de- 

 sire to state that the repairing of Lawn Mowers 

 has become quite an adjunct to our business. Em- 

 ploying efficient mechanics for this work, we know 

 that when a machine leaves our shop it is just 

 right, and frequently in better condition than when 

 it left the manufacturer, who cannot give each 

 machine the thorough inspection that we do. 



A few years ago we introduced through this sec- 

 tion the GOLF LAWN MOWER, the golf course 

 requiring a much closer and more even cut than 

 can be done with the ordinary machine, and we 

 give below cut and description of this Varietv of ma- 

 chine. known as the Scotch Golf Mower, but before 

 coming to that, we first place the 



"Druid" Ball Bearing Lawn Mower, 



with Four Revolving Knives. Driving Wheels 10 inches in diameter. 



The superiority of BALL BEARINGS is now uni- 

 versally conceded, combining EASE OF DRAFT 

 with the least possible FRICTION. 



The only requirement being that they must be 

 thoroughly made and perfectly hardened. In the 

 " DRX'ID " Lawn Mower we offer a machine that 

 in every respect is equal in workmanship to the 

 highest grade Bicycle. 



The Revolving Knives run on twenty- eight 1-4 in. 

 cast steel Balls, fourteen at each end. 



The Ball Races and Adjusting Cones are also 

 made from cast steel, and perfectly hardened and 

 ground. As a result, the Mower runs easily, re- 

 mains in adjustment, and does better work than is 

 possible with parallel bearings, which tend to wear 

 out of true and allow 'lost motion" to the knives. 



The use of Ball Bearings in a Lawn Mower makes 

 necessary a rigid frame. 



The frame of the " DRl'ID " is constructed 

 with the greatest possible care, and is warranted to 

 hold the cutting edges true and in alignment, 

 though subjected to the hardest use. 



In short, the " DRl'ID " LAWN MOWER 

 is designed for a machine of higher grade than ha? 

 heretofore been attempted, and is offered as the 

 perfection of Lawn Mowing Machines.

HIGH WHEEL. 



The Scotch Golf Lawn 

 Mower. 



The increasing demand for a Lawn Mower for 

 cutting golf grounds has caused us to have made 

 for us a Lawn Mower that will do this class of 

 work in a most thorough manner. It is made from 

 patterns which have been used in England for the 

 past twenty years, and has the approval of the 

 most exacting golf clubs of that country. 



It has five revolving knives, running at high 

 speed, and will cut the lawn as close and smooth 

 as a carpet. We offer this Mower for doing the 

 work for which it is intended as being the best the 

 market affords.
