TOWNSEND’S TRIPLEX ( pending) 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on Earth 
Cuts a Swath 86 inches Wide 
Write for catalog illustrating all types of Townsend Lawn Mowers 
S. P. TOWNSEND & CO. y Orange, N. J, 
Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, the 
Triplex Mower will mow more lawn in a day than 
the best motor mower ever made, and cut it better 
and at a fraction of the cost. 
Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, it 
will mow more lawn in a day than any three other 
horse-drawn mowers with three horses and three 
men. (We guarantee this.) 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the 
waves. One mower may be climbing a knoll, a sec- 
ond skimming the level, and a third paring a hollow. 
Does not smash the grass to earth and plaster it in 
the mud in springtime, nor crush out its life between 
hot rollers and hard, hot ground in summer, as does 
the motor mower.
