Levi J. Pierce, Forestville, N.Y., used this lithograph to promote sale of the Eureka. The caption presents an irresistible sales feature: “See! My father can do as much work with the new broad-cut Eureka as he used to with two side-cut machines.”

In a classic romanticized
view of farm life in the 1880s, a young lady and small boy admire a stylishly

mower. The only thing more unusual than a farmer in formal wear is this
center-cut horse-drawn mower, a product of Eureka Mower Co., Utica, N.Y.
