FLORAL REQUISITES 
THE “VICTORY” LAWN MOWER. 
Our Mowers are the Best Ever Built. Their adjustments are the 
simplest, most perfect, and most positive. They cut within inches of 
an obstruction (others inches). Our cutter bars will stay on the ground 
and cut their full swath clean (other short-coupled mowers kick up behind 
in heavy grass). Our mowers are well speeded, and bite small and fre¬ 
quent, leaving a beautiful velvety lawn. 
Ball Bearings, of the highest grade, exact to y of 1-0000 of an inch, 
which reduce the friction astonishingly—even more in a mower than in a 
bicycle—and render it possible to use much wider machines than heretofore, 
with parallel bearings. A 24-inch mower can now be operated as easily 
as the old parallel-bearing mower only 16 inches.
