Hello ODK History Lovers
The North American Simplicity Manufacturing Company was founded in the early 1920s
and started manufacturing ride-on garden tractors in 1959. Today, Simplicity is
owned by Briggs & Stratton. Simplicity products sold here from the 1960s - when
Whirlwind Sales were the agents.

I date this pocket-size brochure to the mid-1970s, but I cannot get a closer date.
The brochure depicts the company's range of ride-ons at its finest: The Power Max,
Sovereign, Baron, Landlord and Broadmoor. There was also the smaller Wonder Boy and
Grabber. And what about those accessories.




Simplicity made top-end products with advanced features and finish. Who uses chrome
hubcaps nowadays? And some of the best styling ever found on ride-on tractors.
Simplicity was one of the earliest uses of hydrostatic drives.

PART TWO - The Brochure
This is a pocket-size brochure of some complexity - essentially a long, foldable
strip printed on both sides. I have edited the sequence for best reader understanding.

As always, available as a download for personal use.
