The One Horse Sprague Mower

THIS MACHINE is new and is built expressly for
use with one horse. Some manufacturers have built
a Mower to be used either with one or two horses,
as the convenience of the farmer may require. This
has proved to be mistaken COURSE as Mower de-
signed for two horses must necessarily be stronger
and heavier to Withstand without breakage the pow
er exerted by the team than to be used with one
horse. Another point is that when using q single
horse Machine built for two, the labor for the
horse is too hard. The impression exists therefore,
that one horse machine cannot be built that will
work well with one horse as the regular machine
does with two horses. We have determined to cor
rect this wrong impression by building truly prac
ticable One Horse Mower.
Our thls shafts are firm and strong, yet have a
neat and tasteful appearance, and have been pro-
nounced by many moving machine men the best
that have ever been attached to Mower
We have taken the greatest care in the construc-
ton of the machine that the horse inside shoe and
right hand drive wheel shall all move in the cleared
track. The Inside Shoe Is of malleable iron, COM
bining ghtness with strength, and allowing the use
OF Cutting apparatus weighing less than one-half
OF that used in the Two Horse Mower These i'm
portant advantages, taken In connection with the
strong points of the two horse machine, which are
all included in the One Horse Mower, make it the
light machine of the world.
All who wish to cut their grass with one horse,
should before purchasing, see the Light Sprague
Mower, the only really practical one horse Mower in
the world. E. A. CALDERWOOD, Agent.

In presenting the SPRACUE MOWER to the notice
Of the Farmers OF this country, and in soliciting
their patronage the manufacturers feel no hesitation
in making the statement that they calling atten
ton now to new and untried experimental ma
chine but to that has been subjected to the most
thorough and trying tests in many sections of the
country, and In all the various and difficult kinds of
works which required from trst-class Mower,
the results obtained from these trials have been most
satisfactory both to the purchasers and to ourselves
Our aim has been, and will be, to place in the
hands of the Farmer Mower light in weight, easy
OF draft, strong in construction with the best and
most simple mechanical cement and proportion
of the working parts; the newest and most complete
facilities for handling cutting apparatus second to
none in use, and at price at once fair and reason
able, and much below that heretofore charged for
the same quality of trstclass Mowers.
In order to carry out these designs and to produce
the required results We have secured and combined
the very best mechanical skill with the practical
Moving Machine talent OF many years experience
The Machines placed In the field last season, were
carefully tried and watched in all the different posi-
lions, and upon all kinds of moving. few i'm
provements have been made, and the Sprague Now
er of the present day stands higher and is nearer
perfection than any Moving Machine offered to the
public.
So well are we satisfied with the results of last
years business, and with the promising indications
OF the coming seasons trade, that we have made
great addt ions to buildings, and have placed in
them large and increased assortment of the newest
and most improved tools and machinery. With our
present arrangements we are enabled to turn out
fifty machines day.
Thanking the public for thsr very favorable re-
ception of the Sprague Mower, and their ready ap.
probation OF its many good qualities, and for their
liberal patronage of last season, respectfully
solicit continuance of the same, and promise 10
use every means in power to give the best salts
faction both by the good qualities OF our Machine
and the fairness OF our business transactions.
VIM. SPRAGUE, President
