Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for the Toro Whirlwind 18 Lawn Mower that is for “$94.50…the best you can buy”. There is a head-to-head confrontation between you and the mower, according to the ad. The ad asks you “Why take a chance on a “bargain” when you can buy a rotary mower like the Toro Whirlwind 18? You get so much more for your money. We don’t have to tell you about the rugged. die-cast housing. Or the over-size wheels that almost “float” the mower over your lawn. Or the special design of the high-carbon steel blade. You can see these advantages for yourself at your Toro dealer’s (he’s listed under “Lawn Mowers” in your classified phone book). What you don’t see on the dealer s floor are things like the Toro service system – recognized as the finest in the power mower industry. 3000 authorized Toro repair stations throughout the U.S. & Canada are ready to give you dependable service from factory-trained repairmen and fast parts delivery from local Toro distributors”.
