LAWN MOWER

the following: 
For cutting terraces this Mower is un- 
“Your 21-inch Ball-Bear-

’ 
for cutting terraces it worksjust as well when the 
handle is removed. The “terrace iron” is at- 
tached to the roller hangers, then a rope is con- 
nected, which allows the operator to stand on the 
top of the terrace and guide the Mower, as its own 
momentum carries it down the hill, operates the 
knives and cuts the grass, when it is pulled back 
by the rope for another swath. Terrace Irons 
are extra, 6Oc. each.

The Henderson “BALL-BEARING” 
WILL CUT A LAWN IN ONE-HALF THE TIME REQUIRED 
WITH OLD STYLE, NARROW-CUT MOWERS. .... . 
THE HENDERSON ‘‘BALL-BEARING’’ LAWN MOWER is superior to all other Mowers in the 
following respects: The axles of the revolving cutter, like the axles of a bicycle, work in ‘‘ ball-bearing ”’ 
journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. These parts are made of the finest case-hardened 
steel, and will last for years, though we have provided against wear should there be any—so that anyone, by 
simply loosening one screw and tightening another, can force the cup and balls higher up the cone-shaped ends 
of the revolving shaft, thereby taking up all possible wear. This adjustment isso simple, yet positive, that it 
can beset to a hair. Our Mower is also built scientifically correct in other respects, resulting in a phenome- 
nally light running Mower. The castings are lathe-turned and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which 
insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no rattle and play. The knives, of the finest steel 
and temper, are sharp and cut like razors, and will keep so if the under knife is kept tightened up to the revolv- 
ing knives; for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and, in consequence, are self-sharpening. 
THE HENDERSON ‘‘BALL-BEARING’’ MOWER has high drive wheels, both of which are 
connected by “train gears”’ to the large, open, non-clogging cylinder placed far enough back to prevent any 
“kicking up” of the Mower when it strikes heavy grass. The spiral of the knivesis correctly proportioned to 
give a continuous cut, leaving the lawn as smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface left by 
other Mowers. The handles are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of the 
Mower is held off the ground, and besides the handle is equipped with improved ‘“‘ grips,’’ which keeps the hands 
in a natural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a 
horizontal grip. We wish to reiterate that our Henderson “ Ball-Bearing’’ Moweris made without regard to 
cost—to be the best, most durable and the easiest-working Mower on the market, and while the prices are 
necessarily a little higher than those of Mowers simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove much 
cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs experienced with cheap Mowers. 
iN a 
ing Lawn Mower morethan 
pleases me, and it has so 
excited the jealousy of my 
neighbor that he wishes me 
to order oue for him exact- 
ly like mine. Please ship it 
by, ete.” 
Dr. Cuas. R. SMITH, 
Tioga, Pa. 
“Your 24-inch Ball-Bear- 
ing Mower I find exactly 
suited to my use. My man 
tells me that it runs easier 
than our old 16-in. Mower.” 
Horatio R. NIGHTINGALE, 
Providence, R. I. 
“T bought two of your 24-inch Ball-Bearing Lawn 
Mowers a few days ago, and we are so pleased 
with them that I want another one, which please 
ship, etc.” E. R. DURKEE, West Park, N.Y. 
“We used your Henderson Ball-Bearing Mower 
all last summer, and must say that it is the best 
machine we have ever tried on our lawns, and we 
have about every make in use, but the men all 
agree that yours is the‘ boss.’ J 
Wm. H. PLATT, 
Comptroller, Lake Side Cemetery, Erie, Pa. 
“T havejust had my lawns cut with the 24-inch 
Mower (Henderson Baill-Bearing) that youshipped 
me. The ease with which it runs and the quality 
of the work done delights me. I have had several 
machines prior to this one, but none could com- 
pare with the Henderson.” JAMES HART, 
Christopher, King Co., Washington. 
“7 have used the Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower all 
summer, and it is the best machine I have ever 
used. It lays close to the turf in long grass, while 
other machines bob up and down, and the knives 
never clog up.” WILLIAM STEWART, 
Springfield, Mass. 
“7 am convineed that your Ball-Bearing Lawn 
Mower is not only constructed on scientific prin- 
ciples, but is superior to all others. In actual 
work it saves about half the time, and works 
easily and charmingly.’ JOHN V. N. STANDISH 
(Pres’t Lombard University), Galesburg, Ill. 
““We have thoroughly tested your most admir- 
able Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower. It walks right 
through our wiry, tough Bermuda grass, cutting 
it as easily as if blue grass.”’ Jas. E. JOUETT, 
Rear-Admiral, U. S. Navy, Orlando, Fla.
