THE — 

 WALTER A. WOOD 

 —TUBULAR- 

 STEEL MOWER. 



A MACHINE with a reputation of 50 years-of success. 

 Differs materially from other Mowers in. construc- 

 tion. Has a floating frame, jmderhitchi and cen- 

 tralized draft which make it the closest and strongest 

 cutter in the field, and the easiest machine on team and 

 driver. Has an axle-extension which enables you to use 

 two widths of bars and have a frame of sufficient width: 

 and weight to carry the wider bar and straddle the swath', 



it cuts. Has a quick-acting spring-lift to raise the bar 



operated by one hand or foot. Has absolutely no neck- 

 weight, or side-draft. Can be used without a neckyoke.. 

 Built in 3' 6" and 4' cut for one horse, and 4' 3", 4' 6'" 

 and 5' for two horses. The one-horse Mower will liter- 

 ally shave the ground and is a splendid machine for parks 

 and large lawns. 



WOOD GIANT MOWER. 



SHOWING REAR. VIEW. 



THE WOOD "GIANT" MOWER is similar in construction to the Tubular Steel, but heavier and 

 wider in frame, and will carry a 6 or 7-foot bar better than any other Mower made.

THE 



WALTER A. WOOD 

 OPEN REAR BINDER 



WILL cut, elevate and bind any grain that grd%s: 

 It is of practically all-steel construction, Jiaa 

 unlimited capacity in the elevator and binder- 

 table and has the famous "Wood" Knotter which, for 

 over 20 years, has held the palm for simplicity and 

 accuraey. It is fitted with self-aligning boxes and roller 

 bearings, and is lighter in draft than machines of lighter 

 construction because its rigidity prevents any friction 

 from bearings out of line or gears out of mesh. It is 

 particularly easy to adjust to suit all the different condi- 

 tions of crop and ground, and all adjusting levers are 

 operated from the seat with the right hand. It can be 

 placed on the transport in a very few minutes by one man 

 unaided, when necessary to take the machine on the road 

 or store it under a narrow shed. It has all the latest 

 improvements and is a machine that, with ordinary care, 

 will do good work for many years.

Before contracting with the manufacturers of the above Binders and Mowers, we concluded to write Mr. Alday Clements, of Crumpton, Md., and 

 Mr. J. C. Walker, of Monrovia, Md., both of whom have been using these machines for years, and we herewith append their testimonials. 



Crumpton, Md., December 17, 1902. 



Messrs. Griffith & Turner Co. 



Gentlemen: — Your favor of Dec. 15th noted. I have been using the Wal- 

 ter A. Wood Harvesters and Binders, also their Mowers, for several years and 

 consider them now almost perfect. 



I am now using 13 of their Harvesters and Binders, and have had so much 

 satisfaction with them that I go into my harvest with as much confidence as 

 I do with the plow for turning the sod. The draft is very light. I use the 

 7-foot machines with 3 horses, and the work is as near perfect as possible. 



The Walter A. Wood Mowers and Rakes are very fine machines — equal, if 

 not superior, to any on the market. Very truly yours, 



Aldat Clements. 



Monrovia, Md., December 15, 1902. 



Messrs. Griffith & Turner Co. 



Dear Sirs: — Your letter of even date to hand stating you have decided to 

 handle the Walter A. Wood machines the next season. 



Replying will say you certainly have made no mistake in your decision. 

 I have handled them for 4 or 5 years and can unhesitatingly say there are no 

 better machines made than the Wood. We handle from 10 to 25 each year, 

 and have never had a machine, either Binder, Mower, Tedder or Rake, 

 returned to us. 



I congratulate you on your decision to sell these goods, for they will do as 

 good work as any machines made, and the firm is doing business on business 

 principles. I contracted for 20 to 25 machines some 60 days ago. Can't 

 state just the exact amount, as I have not the contracts before me.. There 

 is one thing I do know — if there are any machines sold here next season I wil) 

 get my share of the business. Yours truly, 



J. C. Walker.
