Pennsylvania Lawn Mowers 
Reasons Why They Are Best 
The use of high grade crucible steel and the 
tempering of each blade is only done by the 
manufacturers of this mower. 
Having originated the Open Cylinder, the 
Open Wheel, the train of gears, the Self-Sharp¬ 
ening mower and the first ball-bearing mow¬ 
ers, the manufacturers have proved the superi¬ 
ority of their mechanical equipment. 
COST 
These machines cost the user less than any 
other for repairs and resharpening; and their 
long life reduces the original price to a merely 
nominal yearly amount. 
PENNSYLVANIA HIGH WHEEL 
Ten-inch wheels, four blade cylinder—espe¬ 
cially adapted for lawns that cannot be mowed 
very often or where the grass is coarse. The 
driving wheels may drop into a rut, but before 
the knives reach it the wheels are out again 
and the grass is cut smoothly because the 
wheels and roller span the rut. 
Price: 15-in. cut, $13; 17-in. cut, $14; 19-in. 
cut, $15.00. 
JUNIOR BALL-BEARING 
Pennsylvania Mowers have stood the test for 
thirty years, and while the patterns have been 
imitated and the claim put forth that this and 
the other machine was just as good as the 
Pennsylvania, the quality has not been ap¬ 
proached by any other make. The Pennsylva¬ 
nia Junior is the best known mower for all 
class of work—will last longer and do more 
work with less labor than any machine in 
existence. 8-in. wheels, 51^-in. five blade 
cylinder. 
Price: 15-in. cut. $14.50; 17-in. cut, $16.00; 19- 
inch cut, $17.00. 
The construction of the Dead Knife makes 
it self-sharpening until the knife is entirely 
worn out. Double train of gears. 
Mowers using a train of gears run more eas¬ 
ily and steadily by reason of their greater 
length of wheel base. The driving wheels may 
drop into a rut, but before the knives reach 
it the wheels are out again and the grass is 
cut smooth because the wheels and roller span 
the rut. There is additional advantage of a 
better distribution of wear and tear and in¬ 
creased-power and speed. 
For thirty years unrivalled for service, 
strength and light running. 
LOW WHEEL 
This mower is the “old standby” of the pro¬ 
fessional gardener—it is generally called the 
low wheel Pennsylvania. 
Price: 12-in. cut, $8; 14-in. cut, $9; 16-in. 
cut, $9.50; 18-in. cut, $10.50. 
BRAUN GRASS CATCHER 
Canvas sides, galvanized bottom that will 
not sag. Supported by truss rods not attached 
to handle. 
Instantly detached or can be emptied by 
dumping forward. 
These catchers fit all Pennsylvania Lawn 
Mowers. They can also be attached to Keen 
Kutter Mowers and Great American Ballbear¬ 
ing. Each $2 to $2.25.
