A WELL equipped estate of 450 acres in Pomfret, situated among 
the beautiful Connecticut hills, possesses all the requirements and 
facilities of an ideal country residence. The mansion house of 20 rooms

through the grounds and quaint cobblestone lodge add to its general charm. 
There is a wide expanse of rolling, wooded country on all sides. The 
mansion has open fireplaces, wide piazzas, modern equipment and is 
finished throughout in hard wood. There are greenhouses, dwelling for 
the head farmer and florist, adequate barns and other structures. In- 
cluded in the estate are 4 cottage houses on the main street, and also an 
adjoining farm of 75 acres and buildings, bringing the total acreage to 525.

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, 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 ordinary horsedrawn mowers with 
three horses and three men. One mower may be 
climbing a knoll, the second skimming a level and 
the 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. 
The Public is warned not to purchase mowers infringing the Townsend Patent No. 1,209,519. Dec. 19, 1916.
