A New York business man, who owns a country home and 
who has used the Jersey Hedge Trimmer, writes : 
“Certainly an innovation over the clumsy hedge shears in use 
for the past hundred years or more. With the Jersey Trimmer a 
man and boy can accomplish in one day more than ten men work¬ 
ing with shears in the old way, do it perfectly and without fatigue ; 
it is really a pleasure instead of muscle aching tedious labor—in 
fact women and children who enjoy garden work, will find the 
Jersey Trimmer an interesting and pleasant exercise, requiring no 
tiresome effort in mowing the hedge, or shaping ornamental foliage to 
perfect form and evenness. It is compact and light, can be used 
with one or both hands, cuts right or left, going and coming ; the 
two handles permit the shifting of it from one hand to the other. 
There is no lost motion, simply moving the Trimmer in any direc¬ 
tion, up or down the sides, or across the hedge top, the swiftly run¬ 
ning cutting blades shear off the uneven growth like magic. The 
power mechanism is easily operated with a crank, the light flexible 
shaft permits the Trimmer being held in any required position, 
fourteen feet of hedge being trimmed without moving the power 
stand ; it is then tipped forward on the two wheels, and rolls along 
as easily as a small sized lawn mower. 
“A perfectly kept hedge adds greatly to the beauty and value 
of any home, affords privacy and seclusion, and shuts out offend¬ 
ing views. Its perfect condition is secured only by frequent cutting. 
The novelty and ease of operation and quick results obtained with 
the Jersey Trimmer insures its being promptly mowed when required, 
and its appearance a constant source of pleasure and attractive¬ 
ness.
