Townsend's Golf Wonder Lawn Mower.
THE ACKNOWLEDGED "BEST FOR PUTTING GREENS.
The Golf Wonder Lawn Mower is, especially designed and manufactured for
a " Putting Green" Mower, and it is the acknowledged best for the purpose. It
can be set to cut so close that it practically shaves the turf or the knives may be
raised to cut the grass at any desired height, leaving the surface as smooth as a
billiard table. It is used by many of the Golf and Country Clubs, and is invariably
considered a pronounced success. An iron roller (6 1 inches diameter) in the rear
and a small wooden roller in front carry the machine perfectly true and level and
do not dent or mark the "green," as side wheel machines are apt to do'when the
ground is damp or soft, and besides the weight on these rollers is usually sufficient
to press flat any worm-casts. The two front wheels may be used or not as desired.
The reel is only 41 inches in diameter and has six knives, consequently their cutting
edges strike the grass in such close succession that they leave the turf absolutely
free from corrugation and smooth for true "putting." The very best material
is used in the construction of the Golf- Wonder Mowers — -the best quality of new
iron in the castings and the highest grade of steel in the knives. All wearing parts
are lathe turned or machine trimmed, insuring trueness in fitting and operation
and the revolving knife reel works in ball bearings, making it as light running as is
possible for a mower to be that is furnished with so many close cutting knives.
These mowers are furnished either with or without grass catchers. With the catcher
is supplied a patent fan elevator that causes the fine cut grass to enter the box and
stay there until it is dumped, which is quickly and easily done by lifting the box
from its socket.

HENDERSON'S
Border and Terrace Mower.
Especially designed to cut the grass on borders — the narrow
strips of sod sometimes only a few inches wide — between flower
beds and walks where a side-^vheel mower would have one wheel
down in the gutter, and in consequence the mower would cut
into the sod. In our Border Mower a large light cylinder
extends the full width of the mower and keeps the machine
level with the surface and does perfect work. This machine
is also useful for regular lawn work. It is very light
running, and will give thorough satisfaction.

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
