   • 1972 May 5, Diamond M Mower Service, “LAWN-BOY”, in Dixon Evening Telegraph, 122nd year, number 5, Dixon, Ill., →OCLC, page 11, column 6:

     Looked at a LAWN-BOY lately? You’re in for a surprise. The same features and quality are there, but prices are lower… That’s why today’s LAWN-BOY mowers are the value leaders. So see those easy-to-handle “pushables,” the self-propellers you just walk behind.

     Visualize and try all of this with your eyes closed. Pushing disk or ball on the floor using the “whisker” demands constant focus beyond the usual nearpoint of focus into less set depth judgment of intermediate space. Smaller, less color contrast or ball pushables on less smooth surfaces increase the demand; bottle caps, coins, marbles, or superballs make good pushables.
