Better Lawns 
at One'Fourth Cost 
Frequent, even cutting, enough 
water and an occasional ‘feeding’ 
keeps the lawn beautiful. The labor and 
expense of cutting with hand mowers 
has been the chief cause of lawn neglect. That 
cause is fully eliminated however, and the chief 
cause of grass-cutting neglect is removed by 
The Marvelous Jacobsen 
4-Acre Power Mower 
It cuts a 24-inch swath, which has been found 
to be the best cutting width, conforming most 
closely to the contour of the ground. Guides 
about trees, flower beds, shrubs, into the 
corners, etc., as easily as a hand mower. 
Traction wheels operate independently of the 
cutting reel—the knives are idle when going 
over paths, roadways, etc. Travels on 
its own power—no pushing; is throttle 
controlled. Will operate on 30 degree incline— 
especially adapted to beautiful terrace work. 
A Proven Product 
The first Jacobsen Power Lawn 
Mowers built are still giving good 
service Mechanic not necessary to 
operate. We challenge comparison, 
welcome any practical trial test— 
and guarantee satisfaction. 
Self Sharpening 
Knives are sharpened by 
mower’s own power with¬ 
out removing cutting reel. 
Our Special Jacobsen Estate

for especially fine, medium 
size lawns.

Stained with Cabot's Creosote Stains

Twice the Beauty at Half the Cost 
That is what you get by Staining your Siding, Boarding, and Timbers, as 
well as your Shingles with 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
Twice the Beauty —The strong, pure colors of Cabot’s Stains are transparent. 
They sink into the wood and bring out the beauty of the grain and texture 
of all kinds of lumber—siding, boards, or shingles—with velvety depth and 
richness. A “painty” coating would completely hide all of this natural 
beauty of the wood. 
Half the Cost —Cabot's Stains cost less than half as much as paint; and 
they can be put on more than twice as quickly, reducing the labor cost— 
which is much the larger item—by more than half. Shortage of skilled 
labor will not hold up your work, because your own men can apply Cabot’s 
Stains or you can do it yourself. 
Wood Thoroughly Preserved —Cabot’s Stains are made of pure Creosote, 
which penetrates the wood, and "wood treated with it is not subject to dry- 
rot or other decay.”— Century Dictionary. 
Lasting Colors —The colors wear as long as the best paint, and wear better, 
because they do not crack or peel as paint does; and they are easily and 
cheaply renewed. 
You can get Cabot’s Stains all over the country.
