AN ENTIRELY NEW CONCEPT IN A RIDING POWER UNIT
NOW with exclusive Two-Speed Axle! |
Just one year ago, Simplicity startled the power garden industry with this new look in riding power units. The Wonder-Boy was new, revolutionary . . . an exciting step forward. But even then, people saw in it the answer to their lawn needs.
Today, Wonder-Boy is a proven-performer, owned and enjoyed by thousands of Americans. Young and old alike have found it the last word -- simple to use, comfortable, safe and a trouble-free performer.
Wonder-Boy has, literally, changed the lawn maintenance habits of America. With it, you can mow lawns to golf-green smoothness without scalping . . . mulch leaves . . . haul heavy loads . . . roll lawns . . . grade . . . plow snow! Its rear-mounted engine puts heat and fumes behind you . . . its simple Joy Stick control brings smooth, instant response . . . and its exclusive Two-Speed Axle provides high and low speeds.
Try Wonder-Boy yourself. A few minutes aboard and you'll want this riding power unit on your grounds -- city or country. For no other unit can do so much for you . . . so quickly and so well.
