Other companies have started as early as 1870. But, American Lawn Mower Company quickly established itself as a leader in the manufacturing of quality hand-push reel grass trimmer. By 1896 the company sold 4,000 mowers per year, with prices ranging from $2.20 for the cheaper models to $4.75 for it's Wayne model that featured a 21 inch cut.
