KETCHUM'S
PATENT MOWING MACHINES
The greatest Improvement ever made for Simplicity, Durability, and Ease of Action.
It is now beyond a question, from the complete triumph over all other machines this season, that this is the only successful Grass Cutter known. It is in fact the only machine that has ever cut all kinds of grass without clogging or interruption. More than 1000 have been sold the present season under the following warranty, and not in a single instance have we been called on to take one back.
(Warranty:) That said machines are capable of Cutting and Spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten to fifteen acres per day, of any kind of grass, heavy or light, wet or dry, lodged or standing, and do it as well as is done with a scythe by the best mowers.
