September 27, 1927

On this day, the Rutland Daily Herald out of Vermont shared this adorable short advertisement from WC Landon and Company:

Whether you save your leaves for excellent cover for your garden and lawn or whether you burn them, you need a good rake to get them together.

Here are four different kinds, all good.

The Japanese Sweep Rake - light and handy but not for heavy work.......$1.00

The Wood Lawn Rake, with 24 teeth, for heavy work .......$1.00

The Hoover Wire Lawn Rake is much favored at ....... 75 cents

The Brume Rake, with flat steel teeth, shaped like the Japanese Sweep, priced at .......$1.00

So, there you go. That's a sweet little summary of rake options in Vermont in 1927.
