Dunham Water-Weight Lawn Rollers] 
DUNHAM WATER-WEIGHT 
ROLLERS ARE ELECTRIC 
WELDED—NO RIVETS USED 
—THE DRUM CANNOT POS¬ 
SIBLY LEAK. 
If you wish a fine lawn, you 
must use a Lawn Roller. In no 
other manner can a smooth, com¬ 
pact surface be maintained. It 
packs the soil, thus retaining the 
moisture throughout the season, 
enabling young and tender grass 
to secure the necessary nourish¬ 
ment. 
The Dunham Water-Weight Roller can be made as heavy 
or as light as desired by simply putting in the right amount 
of water. For storing away or for moving, it can be emptied 
entirely and is light and easy to handle.
