 DURABILITY. Actual tests have prov on that Worcester Mowers wear better and last longer than any othsr. : LIGHT DRAFT. Absolutely the sasi- est machine to draw that horse was ev- or hitchsd to. Large driving whssls; seat in tho right place; everything bal ancsd to perfection. No unnecessary strain upon the team; no sore necks.
