The text explains that this man owns a "country-style home" which he will now be able to take care of more easily. In fact he can even do it in the evenings so he will actually have his weekends free. It mentions that with this tractor, and an assortment of accessories, he will be able to "mow an acre an hour, till his garden, vacuum leaves, spray trees, clear snow and haul firewood".

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their 110 Lawn and Garden Tractor. There is a picture of one of these in their trademark Green and Yellow color with the headline offering to explain "How to tell it's a genuine John Deere Weekend Freedom Machine". There are eight lines on this picture pointing toward features that are adequatly bragged about in the captions. At the bottom of the ad are three pictures that, to me, seem to be laid out in reverse order. Picture #1 shows a man on his John Deere and the caption says "Mow an acre an hour". Picture #2 shows a man and his young son enjoying a day of fishing and the caption says "Set your weekends free". Picture #3, which is what you have to do to accomplish either of the first two, shows a wooden sign saying John Deere Lawn & Garden Tractor and the caption says "See your John Deere dealer. |
