Page Text: "In January of ‘49 I purchased a Gravely Tractor, Lawn Mower, Cutter Bar Mower, Cultivator, Cart and Estate Sprayer. This equipment has had the hardest of use on rough hilly ground, some of it too steep to use a large tractor on. Your advertising literature doesn’t do justice to this wonderful equipment for in every particular it has more than exceeded your claims for it. What has pleased me is the trouble-free simplicity and ruggedness of both the tractor and equipment for it. Also ease of servicing." MAURICE S. WooD 127 S. Hanover St. Carlisle, Pa. STEERING WHEELSteering. . . just turn the wheel-like driving your car! Easy to operate.EASY HANDLING. . . like power steering.
