There s a big difference be·tween the once-a-week cuttingof the home lawn and the all-day, everyday demands onthe commercial mower. That'swhy more and more golfcourses are standardizing onJacobsen for cutting tees ap-proaches and clubhouse lawns.

Like the famous Greens-mower, all Jacobsen powermowers are built to handletough commercial jobs, andthe records they have estab-lished through years of serviceare proof of their design andquality.

Ask your Jacobsen dealer toshow you why Jacobsen is thefirst choice on the tough jobs.
