JOHN FERRABEE AND SONS,

PHOENIX IRON WORKS, NEAR STROUD, GLOUCESTERSHIRE,

BUDDING'S LAWN MOWING MACHINES FOR HAND AND HORSE POWER, 

WITH REGISTERED IMPROVEMENTS, No 3074.

HORSE MACHINE-Half inch Scale.

J. FERRABEE AND SONS, who were the Sole Manufacturers of BUDDING'S MACHINES under the Patent, and who have produced and sold nearly FOUR THOUSAND of them, have this year effected, and protected by Registration, great improvements in their construction. These improvements consist in the adoption of a new form for the fixed blade, a reduction in the number of cutting edges, and the application of regulating wheels outside their axis-their combined effect being to simplify the use and management of the Machines, to cause them to work much easier, and to render their motion over the ground so true and steady that any one may use them either by pushing or drawing them forward, without requiring the least practice, thus completely obviating every difficulty experienced with the old Machines.

The Horse Machines are very strong and powerful, and adapted for cutting Grass of the utmost length usually met with on Lawns and Pleasure Grounds. In addition to the Registration Number- 3074, the improved Machines have the name, J. FERRBEE & Sons," cast on the frames; and none should be purchased without this guarantee.
