You Wouldn’t Give a Lead Nickel for a razor that you couldn’t sharpen or put in new blades. So why don’t you figure the same way when you buy a lawn mower?. It’s necessary that a lawn mower be sharp to run easy or do a good clean job. You can sharpen an Eclipse Lawn Mower so easily that you will always have a nice working machine and besides save a big lot of expense. Let us show you. H. Knapp & Son
