TOWNSEND'S TRIPLEX 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on Earth 
Cuts a Swath 86 Inches Wide 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the waves. 
One mower may be climbing a knoll, the second skimming 
a level and the third paring a hollow. 
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, 
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 ordinary horse- 
drawn mowers with three 
horses and three men. (We 
guarantee this.) 
Does not smash the grass to 
earth and plaster it in the mud 
in springtime, nor crush out 
its life between hot rollers and 
hard, hot ground in summer, 
as does the motor mower. 
The Public is warned nr! to purchase mowers infringing 
the Townsend Patent No. 1,209,519, Dec. 19th, 1916

SATISFIED? 
Do you continue to 
use garbage and 
rubbish cans be¬ 
cause you are 
satisfied? Or do 
you tolerate them 
because you think 
they are necessary 
evils? 
The KERNERATOR 
Has at last emancipated the home from these evils. 
The door shown is located in the kitchen. Into it is put every¬ 
thing that is not wanted—tin cans, garbage, broken crockery, 
paper, sweepings, bottles, cardboard boxes—in fact all those 
things that accumulate in the home from day to day and are a 
continuous nuisance and dangerous health hazard. 
The material deposited falls down the regular house chimney 
flue to the incinerator built into the base of the chimney in the 
basement. From time to time a match is touched to it and it 
burns itself up. The material deposited is the only fuel required. 
Not one penny for operating cost and yet you have abolished 
garbage and refuse cans forever. 
SANITARY—ECONOMICAL 
CONVENIENT—ODORLESS 
A postal to us today will bring an interesting catalog to you tomorrow.
