The 
New Britain 
J UST think of your real need of a high-grade, small-size 
tractor—compact, powerful, and with unusual stability,— 
that will out-work any horse at cultivation or soil prepara¬ 
tion; out-distance, out-tire and out-last him; and then starve 
him to death in economy of maintenance! 
Such a machine is the New Britain Tractor. Guided as easily 
as a wheelbarrow and occupying little more space—no compli¬ 
cated controls—no awkward cranking. 
It will plow, harrow, disc, cultivate, drill or haul any one-horse 
implement or load. It will dodge obstructions, work between 
narrow rows, straddle crops 8 to 13 inches high, creep under low 
branches, and work up as close as you want to fences, walls and 
bushes. 
Still more! The New Britain Tractor delivers 6 h.p. on the 
belt and drives saws, grinders, silo fillers, pumps, dynamos, or 
other machines within the limit of its power. 
In design, workmanship and material the New Britain Tractor 
has no superior in any tractor at any price. It is built by me¬ 
chanics trained to precision work in fine materials, in a factory 
world-famous for thirty-two years for the excellence of its 
products. 
Built in two models. Both are described in detail in booklet, 
sent free on request.

This Man Can Cut from Four to 
Five Acres of Grass Per Day 
This man takes care of tlie lawn 
and grounds on tlie estate of 
Thomas A. Edison, West Or¬ 
ange, N. J. Where he formerly 
required tliree or four lielpers 
lie now does the work alone and 
does it easily. 
For keeping the lawn in fine 
sliape—rolled smooth and grass 
nicely cut—was tlie hard part 
of the job. It kept two or three 
men busy most of the time. 
But the Ideal Power Lawn 
iMow'er solved the problem just 
as it lias for hundreds of others 
who have large lawms to care for. 
Advantages of the Ideal 
The Ideal is a power mower and 
roller in one and the sod is rolled 
every time the grass is cut. This 
keeps it smooth, firm and free 
from bumps. The Ideal is scien¬ 
tifically designed to keep lawms 
in fine condition. The weight is 
just right for steady year around 
wmrk. 
The Mower has a thirty-inch cut 
and one man can easily mow four 
or five acres of grass per day at 
an ojierating expense of about 
fifty cents for fuel and oil. 
Cuts Close to Walks, Trees and 
Shrubbery 
Machine turns easily and will cut 
close up to walks, trees, flower beds 
and shridibery. 
When running over walks, drive¬ 
ways, pavements, etc., the operator 
simply lifts the cutting mower from 
the ground by means of a conven¬ 
iently placed lever. Tins feature is 
also important in the early spring 
when it is desired to use the ma¬ 
chine for rolling only. Simj)ly lift 
up the cutting mower, add more 
weight if required, and you have 
the most convenient power roller 
imaginable. 
The success of the Ideal is due to 
its sturdy and powerful, yet simple, 
construction. No clutches or com¬ 
plicated parts to w'ear and get out 
of order. The Motor is built in our 
own sho]) and designed especially 
for the work. 
Owners of large estates, public 
parks, golf clubs, country clubs, 
cemeteries, etc., are all using the 
Ideal Tractor Lawn Mower with 
great success. 
Special Cuttiny Mower for Putting 
Greens 
For work on golf courses we fur¬ 
nish, at slight additional cost, a 
.sj)ecial set of cutting blades for use 
on the putting greens. In less than 
five minutes the regular 30" blade 
can be substituted for cutting the 
fairway. 
When desired, we also furnish, as 
an extra, a riding trailer which 
fastens to the frame and permits 
the operator to ride and at the 
same time have the same easy con¬ 
trol as when walking. 
You can secure the Ideal through 
your dealer direct or from our fac¬ 
tory. Write today for catalogue 
and further details.
