TOWNSEND’S 
TRIPLEX 
LAWN 
MOWER 
(PATENT PENDING) 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on 
Barth, Cuts a Swath 86 Inches 
wide. 
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 climb¬ 
ing a knoll, a second skimming the level and a third paring a hollow. 
Does not smash the grass to earth and plaster it in the mud in springtime, neither 
does it crush the life out of the grass between hot rollers and hard, hot ground in 
summer, as does the motor mower.

A Refreshing Picture 
Smooth, well kept lawns present a 
refreshing picture. On hot summer 
days you cannot, at your command, 
call cooling breezes to your relief — 
this priceless gift is denied you. 
But you can, at your will, make 
your surroundings refreshing to the 
eye and pleasing to the senses. 
The Ideal Junior Power Mower will 
keep your lawn in prime condition, 
and furnish a setting to delight every 
owner who takes pride in the appear¬ 
ance of his lawn. 
This power driven mower is more 
economical to operate than either the 
hand or horse-driven mower — will do 
the work quicker and better. Ten full 
hours work costs but 20 cents for 
fuel — with no loss of power, as is 
the case when three or four chains 
are necessary to transmit the 
power from the motor to the 
drive wheel. 
The motor is 3-horsepower, 
S.A.E. rating; high tension Na¬ 
tional magneto 4 adjustable 
cutter blades; 25-inch cut; 
climbs 40% grades; cuts 5 
acres per day. Speed up to 
4 miles per hour. The Ideal Com 
bination Mower and Roller, a larger 
machine with 38-inch cut $400. Let 
us tell you more about what the Ideal 
Power Lawn Mower will do for your lawn.
