Messrs. J. M. Thorburn & Co. 
Gentlemen: Your New Ball-Bearing Mower has been 
fully tested and has given the utmost satisfaction. For 
five months it has been used every working day, for 
about ten hours daily, keeping over 1.5 acres of lawn in 
the best shape. The greater part of this consists of 
sidehill terraces that are hard on a machine. Yet it has 
required no repairs up to date. The adjustment is so 
perfect that the man using it had no trouble in keeping 
it right. It is the easiest and lightest running machine, 
doing its work in the best manner, that I have had ex- 
perience witli so far. Yours truly,

Messrs. J. M. Thorburn & Co. 
Gentlemen : It affords me the greatest pleasure to 
write and tell you how well I have been pleased with 
the Th(H-bnrn New Bail-Bearing Movver. In my opinion 
there is nothing to equal it in its line. In my experi- 
ence of eighteen years at gardening it is ?.way the best 
machine I ever handled. It runs light and does the 
work thoroughly, and has not once got out of order. It 
has been used on an average three days a 'A-eek all sum- 
mer. In concluding, I will say that in the future the 
Thoi'burn Ball-Bearing Mower is tlie one for me. I 
remain, gentlemen, Yours truly,
