A Better Lawn— At Less Expense 
WHEREVER a Fuller & Johnson Motor Lawn Mower is in 
use there the wonderful, velvet-smooth lawn testified un- 
mistakably to its virtue. Combining as it does so admir- 
ably, good cutting capacity with the flexibility of a light hand 
mower, the operator can cut close up to and around trees, under 
shrubs, along walks and driveways and over rolling ground, doing 
a beautifully finished job in one operation without the necessity 
for clean-up work afterwards with a hand mower. As a lawn 
beautifier the 
Fuller & JOHNSON 
MOTOR LAWN MOWER 
is absolutely without an equal, and what is just as important this mower repre- 
sents a sound practical business investment, for it will yield a handsome cash 
dividend thr^ ""'^ economy in operation that will pay for the machine in a 
comparatively snort time. Offering as it does not only a means of more per- 
fect lawn making but adding the practical and desirable features of economy 
convenience ard ease of operation, you owe it both to your lawn and to 
your pocketbook to provide yourself with this wonderful machine.
