THE SEVENTH THOUSAND OF

FERRABEE'S LAWN-MOWING MACHINES

FITTED WITH EVERY IMPROVEMENT, ARE NOW BEING SENT OUT.

The large and increasing sale of these Machines conclusively proves that they are unequalled for excellence of workmanship, simplicity of management, and efficiency in operation; and while their pre-eminence is thus maintained by the Makers, a reference to the Price List below shows the terms on which they are sold to be the most advantageous that are offered.

PRICE LIST, including Carriage to any Railway Station in England and Wales
Machine, cutting 12 inches wide, for one man £4 5 0 Machine, cutting 22 inches wide, for a pony  £6 15 0
Machine, cutting 16 inches wide, for one man  5 5 0 Machine, cutting 26 inches wide, for a pony  8 0 0
Machine, cutting 19 inches wide, for man and boy  5 17 6 Machine, cutting 28 inches wide, for a horse 11 0 0
Machine, cutting 22 Inches wide, for man and boy 6 0 0  Machine, cutting 36 inches wide, for a horse 15 0 0

The 12-inch Machine is a most handy also for a small Lawn, and the use of it affords quite a pleasant exercise; it is also convenient to have one of them where a Pony or Horse  Machine is employed to cut the Grass where the larger Machine cannot work. The Horse Machine is very strongly constructed with cylinders of large diameter, adapting them to cut the longest and coarsest grasses usually met in Pleasure Grounds, &c., and they are easily managed.

Sold by all respectable Ironmongers and Seedsmen in the country, and by the Manufacturers

CAUTION. - Purchasers should see that the Maker's name, JAS. FERRABEE & CO., is cast on the frames of the machines.

JAMES FERRABEE & CO., Phoenix Iron Works, Stroud, Gloucestershire
