VERTICAL-LIFT MOWER
There’s no getting - around the fact that Dain’s are the
best mowers made. Points of superiority of Dain’s
Mowers are:
Strength, Simplicity,
Durability Light Draft
Proven by actual test to run 25 percent lighter than any
other mower; has thirty less parts than any other mow
er; has thirty less parts to buy.
You can’t go astray when you purchase a Dain. All
parts heavily re-enforced. No change of machine in
ten years. No need for a change. Not as good as
the best, but the best of the good.
