TESTIMONIALS:-

From Mr. GEORGE EYLES, late Chief Superintendent of the Grounds and entire Horticultural Department of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, and now appointed to the Superintendence of the Horticultural Society's New Gardens, Kensington Gore, and the Gardens, Chiswick, in favour of SHANKS Patent Lawn Mower-(the 30-inch Horse-power Machine need on the Laws of the Crystal Palace) 
"Crystal Palace, December 30, 1850
"I have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the excellence of the 30-inch Shanks' Patent Lawn Mowing Machine you sent us. We have had it in use almost daily up to the end of the mowing season, and it has always performed its work in the most satisfactory manner, and has never bees once out of repair. The contrivance for emptying the Grass Box is a great acquisition, and effects a considerable saving of time."

Report of the Royal Dublin Society's Agricultural Spring Show held at Dublin April 10, 1860, is Irish Farmers' Gazette, April 14.

"Shanks Patent Lawn Mower, with the admirable new improvements, takes this season a high position. These celebrated Machines seem now as perfect as they possibly can be."
