THE BIG FOUR nni( iviqwers tar. i .'j r Run Lighter, Cut Cleaner and Last Longer Than any other Machine on the Market. WHY? Because they have larger drive wheels, wider distance between the drive wheel bearings, no side draft and the high speed of the knife eliminates the necessity of backing the machine to get the knife into motion before attempting to cut heavy grass. All holes in the frame of the McCORMICK having been bored at the same time, insures per fect alignment of bearings, which REDUCES THE FRICTION TO A MINIMUM and insures a long lived machine. ANOTHER REASON why you should buy a McCORMICK MOWER is that the Rogue River Hardware Co. always have a full stock of repairs on hand so that you can dup licate any part you may break or wear out immed iately, without an expensive and annoying wait to have the part ordered from Portland or elsewhere when your hay is ready to cut. Haying time will soon be here. DON'T PUT OFF getting your new machine until you are just ready to use it. If you can't come in, write or phone for catalogue.
