B-M Lawn Mower
Model VD 17 B-M Power Mower
Many Americans think of a well-kept lawn as a symbol of the good life. Only since World War II has the average homeowner been able to get everything needed to grow a velvety green carpet of grass. Essential products for the American-style lawn include specially bred grass seed, a big water supply, pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and--most important of all--a good reliable lawn mower. The B-M Mower Company of Blue Mound, Kansas (Linn County), produced power mowers from the mid-1940s until 1957. In promotional brochures like the one pictured, the company promised customers that its aluminum-body mowers would save time, work, and money "and make mowing your lawn seem like child's play instead of hard labor."
