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 ml to purchase mowers infringing 
the Townsend Patent No. 1,209,519. Dec. 19th, 1916
