A glance at the illustration 

 herewith given will be un- 

 derstood by the most un- 

 skilled operator of a lawn 

 mower, and it will be seen 

 that only a common screw 

 driver is needed to keep the 

 machine in perfect adjust- 

 ment in both the bearings 

 and cutting edges, the two 

 important features of any 

 lawn mower. 



The bearings in our Mow- 

 ers are made of the best 

 material obtainable, and as 

 perfect as in the highesj 

 grade bicycle. 



HIGH WHEEL. 



The superiority of BALL BEARINGS is now universally con- 

 ceded, combining EASE OF DRAFT with the least possible FRIC- 

 TION. 



The only requirement being that they mast be thoroughly made 

 and perfectly hardened. In the "DRUID" 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 H in. cast steel Balls, 

 14 at each end. See annexed sectional cut. 



The Ball Races and Adjusting Cones are also made from cast 

 steel, and perfectly hardened and ground. As a result, the 

 Mower runs easily, remains 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 " DRUID " 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 "DRUID" I,AW]« MOWER is designed for a 

 machine of higher grade than has heretofore been attempted, and 

 is offered as the perfection of Lawn Mowing Machines. 



One thing we have proved, 

 and it is that the cheap, low- 

 priced ' stove bolt" Mowers 

 now being sold cannot be 

 equipped with ball-bearings. 

 A frame made up of castings 

 with sand cored holes, and 

 assembled with bolts will not 

 hold the balls close to the 

 bearing cones long enough to 

 mow the smallest lawn, and 

 for this reason such a mower 

 must be a complete failure. 



The frame of 

 every Lawn 

 Mower we make 

 is constructed on 

 mechanical prin- 

 ciples, every hole 

 being machined 

 to gauge, and the 

 entire frame as- 

 sembled with the 

 nicety of the most 

 perfect machine

 line of Lawn Mowers. 



THE BALTIMORE HIGH-WHEEL MOWER. 



Driving-Wheels, 9 Inches Diameter. Cuttingr Cylinder, 6 

 Inches Diameter, with Four Knives. 



For e.ittreme EASE OF OPERATION, SIMPLICITY, DURABILITY, DESIGN AND 

 FINISH THE BAI>TIMOKK IIIOII-WHEEIi 

 MOWEK is unsurpassed. 



All Ci the essential features in best lawn mower construction have been incorporated 

 in the BAI.XX1IOBE. It has the Patent Rocker Adjusting Journals for the cut- 

 ting cylinder, compensating for wear upon all sidesof the shaft; patent double-bearing 

 double-toothed Rachet and Pawl connection, which positively avoid all_ friction while 

 the Mower is in operation, and thereby causing It to run much easier than other 

 machines, (with one exception, the "DRUID"). It is made of first-class material and 

 workmanship, and will do the most perfect work.

 vVEAR. Bronze boxing for reel shafts. Adjustment of handle is an important fea- 

 ture, being arranged at lower end, so that it is instantly adjustable for a child or 

 grown person. The reel and cutter-bar knives are made of crucible steel.

Baltimore Regular Mower. No. I. 



S in. Wheels. 3 Blades. 



An open cylinder machine, strong and durable, 

 made of the best material; nicely finished, and is first- 

 class in every respect. Though a moderate priced 

 Mower is by no means a cheap one, for all realize that 

 cheap goods are dear at any price. This 

 Mower is built on the same lines as the Balti- 

 more High Wheel, but has three blades; is 

 lighter in weight, and has an 8-inch, instead of 

 a !) nich wheel, hence the difference in price.
