Dear Gardening Friend,

Thank you for your interest in our TROY-BILT Roto Tiller-Power Composters...and for requesting a copy of our important New Report enclosed.

It should answer any questions you have about most other gardening machines as compared to all our 1978 TROY-BILT Toto Tiller models.

If after reading through this material, you find you still have questions, please feel free to write or call me TOLL FREE at

1-800-833-6990.

I, or one of the folks who works with me, can advise you on most every type of gardening machine available...and, we will do our best to see that you are well-equipped for the coming gardening season.

Meanwhile...here at the Tiller Factory the big rush of Spring orders has already begun. We’re not sure why, but it seems this year more than ever before, serious gardeners everywhere are deciding to own Troy-Bilts. Already we are sold out through the beginning of next month and orders are still coming in faster than we can fill them.

One reason for this great rush is, of course, our Direct-from-Factory OFF-SEASON SAVINGS Plan in effect right now through the end of March. You can save at least $60.00 or more off the current list price of all Troy-Bilt models --- plus an additional 10% off any attachments ordered with your Tiller.

Then, Starting April 1st and on through May and

June, there are do discounts.

Also starting April 1st, prices of all Troy-Bilt “Horse” models will go up by as much as $32.00 --- about 5$.

As you know, last year was another bad one for inflation. Though beef and a few other things went down, overall the price of a market basket full of groceries (especially fresh vegetables and fruits) continued to climb.

And then last summer much the same thing happened with many of the raw materials and parts that go into making our Troy-Bilts. First, engines went up 6%...then cast iron up 7%...sheet metal 5%...and, on it went.

So, though we have already held off far longer than recommended by our accountants, we now have no choice but to raise prices on all Troy-Bilt “Horse” models (which being larger, have more cast iron, more costly engines, etc. than our smaller “Polny”) just to keep up with inflation.

That’s why it’s so very important --- doubly important (because of the price rise and the OFF-SEASON SAVINGS now in effect) --- that if you are planning on getting a Troy-Bilt at all during the coming gardening season, you let me know before the March 31st deadline.

As Little As 20% Deposit Guarantees Your “Double savings” [as much as $105.60]...Plus, Delivery in Time for Gardening and Planting This Spring!

You can, if you wish, send payment in full by check or money order, or charge your Tiller to your VISA/Bank-Americard, Chargex, or Master Charge card.

You’ll find a complete explanation of our unique no-time-limit promise to you...our low-cost service...and why we say you’re even more important to us after the sale than before. You’ll be able to decide soon enough whether one of our much different (and, we believe, better) TROY-BILT gardening machines is right for you.
