Eardly T. Petersen Shows New Model of Leaf Blower
WESTFIELD — The Eardly T. Petersen Company of Westfield recently announced that the Little Wonder Company has introduced a new leaf blower which has “redefined the benchmark” by which these machines are rated. Keith Petersen, a spokesman for the Petersen Company, stated that Little Wonder, a long-time United States manufacturer of premiumquality outdoor power equipment, “has innovated the biggest design change in leaf removal equipment in over 20 years. “By investing many long, hard hours in engineering and field-testing,” said Mr. Petersen, “Little Wonder has, essentially, transformed the way in which ground (walk behind) leaf blowers are made.” He added, “With a patent pending design, Little Wonder has improved the size, shape and aerodynamic intake characteristics of an already established line of high-grade leafblowers.” “They have innovated a unique feature to break the discharge air stream into two, parallel, upper and lower air stream patterns,” Mr. Petersen continued. “The result is that the bottom air stream ‘digs’ underneath the leaves and propels them forcefully, while the upper air stream acts to prevent a historical ‘blowback,’ and to keep the leaf pile moving away,” he said. Mr. Petersen added, that the company has a Little Wonder video showing the test results of its equipment in action compared to some other
popular product lines. For information on the Little Wonder, or other outdoor power equipment, please call The Eardly T. Petersen Company, 224 Elmer Street, Westfield, at (908) 232-5723. The company is closed on Wednesdays.
