CHAMPION
MOWER
The PITMAN is Steel One
An AVERY PLUS Feature
ank of Raeford
Raeford, N.
You could count on one hand the
times an Avery man haa ever had cause
to say, ** I wonder why we didn’t think
of that.’* This is true because the
Avery Ideal, begim 100 yean itgo, is
based nipon thinking first. That is
the reason for Avery P/us Features.
For example:
In* the average mower the Pitman
is made of wood and of a number of
parts. Among them are eight rivets
and foiu' steel straps. A lot of lort
motion results. To improve the imple*
ment, Avery inventors created the
one-piece Pitman of the Avery Cham
pion Mower. It is made of drop-forged,
heat-treated sted. The e^lht rivets and
four sted straps are diminated—so is
the lost motion. This is an Avery Plum
Feature—the result of the Avery as
tern of thinking and building. It
makes a better implement.
Avery Plus Features Save You Time and Money
y Any Avery imptement costs what good quality «a worth. These
Avery Piua Peatures-CTeated by Avery designers^ inventors And
erafUmen are extra dividends which your money earns udien you
^j^imrestinthenameAvery. They save both time and money. That la v
