Description
Full color 10″ x 14″ ad that shows an older lady wearing her night-time clothes as she chugs along cutting her grass as she wonders “Why should the boys have all the fun!”. She is dressed casually but she is cutting her grass with a shiny new Reo Royale De Luxe Power Lawn Mower. The ad says that it will cut wider, a 21″ cut and bigger, a 1 3/4 hp, 4-cycle Reo engine, and it gives a price of only $124.50. It claims that “Everyone wants a turn at the mower that turns a job into a joy”. The claim is made too that where there’s a Reo, there’s a smoother, neater lawn adding beauty to the neighborhood and value to the home.
