The Lawn—A Restful Place 
Checkered with sunlight and shadow, sometimes gay and 
sometimes sombre, what thing is closer to the home 
lover’s heart than his vista beyond the porch—that view 
of beauty—the lawn. 
And to keep it fit, with every little blade in prime of 
health, a careful trim, then gently rolled, is absolutely 
needed. 
Coldwell’s Model “L” steps in to take the task! Eco¬ 
nomical—thoroughly efficient. Motor-powered, roller 
equipped, it leaves each thriving shoot radiant with the 
gift of health—quite as no other mower can. And—six 
acres per day, if needed! 
Long . grass _ is not pretty grass. 
Now is the time. We’ll demonstrate.
