FAIRWAYS? ••• Swell! ••• But

HOW A'BOUT YOUR ROUGH?Yes, the, big gangs easily take care of fairway mowing,but what about your "rough"-those knee-high weedsand grass, steep hillsides, weed-infested gullies, fencerows, etc?That's exactly where YOU need a GRAVELy-thatrugged little 5-HP Tractor with its 42" Sickle Mowerattachment! ... Low center of gravity and swivel ac-tion of cutter bar give a smooth job no matter howrough or hilly the ground. Long-necked, front-mountedcutting unit gets in close-under fences, shrubbery,etc.-places big tractors can't touch. Reverse gear elim-inates tugging and pulling to back out. . . Powerful,sturdily built, all gear driven - the perfect adjunct toan otherwise well-equipped, well-groomed golf course.But remember-sickle mower is justone of Gravely's 19 attachments-rotary and gang mowers, bull-dozer, roller, hauling cart,snow plow, etc.-for completemaintenance of small courses.

I believe I promised you a report on how theNight Crawler, which we purchased from youin June, worked out for us, so here it is - betterlate than never!Just before the Big Elks State Tournament washeld here we perforated all eighteen of ourgreens with your machine taking only two daysfor the whole job and hiring no extra help atthat and the tournament players pronounced thegreens in perfect shape for play.
