LAWN MOWERS FOR 1953 
Scientifically designed, accurately built, from high grade materials. 
GREAT AMERICAN 
A good efficient lawn mower is a necessity in properly 
caring for a lawn, from either the standpoint of doing a good 
looking job, or the physical labor in doing it. A good mower 
is a pleasure to operate. Streamlined design alone adds 
nothing to the practical value. A good mower, substantially 
made, is capable of accurate adjustments, easy and simple 
to make, and will not require frequent trips to the shop for 
sharpening or repairs. The following machines are designed 
to give good service on small or large requirements. 
GREAT AMERICAN. The choice of professional 
gardeners and park superintendents. Great American is a precision con- 
structed, sturdy lawn mower, made to give a smooth cut and hold close
