PETER HENDERSON 6t CO., IMEW YORK- 



Henderson's ideal Ball-Bearlno" Lawn Mower 



Will cut a lawn in one-half the time required with old style, narrow-cut MowerSt 



THE HEITDEBSOIT "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-bear- 

 ing" journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. These parts are trade of the finest 

 case-hardened steel, and will last for years, though we have pro%-ided 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 is so 

 simple, yet positive, that it can be set to a hair. Our Mower is also built scientifically correct in other re- 

 spects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. The castings a re lathe-turned and bored, and the 

 journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueiiess 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 Iceep so if the under 

 linife is Icept tightened up to the revolving knives ; for then the blades wear to the same bevel, and, in con- 

 sequence, are self-sharpening. 



THE HENDERSON "BALL -BEARING" MOWER has high drive wheels, 

 both of which are connected by gearing to the large, open, non-clogging cylinder placed 

 far enough back to prevent any •■kicliiiig up" of tiie Mower when it strikes heavy grass. 

 The spiral of the knives is correctly proportioned to give a continuous cut, leaving the 

 lawn as smooth as if shaved, entirely free from the corrugated surface left b.v other Mowers. 

 The handles are braced and reinforced to prevent twisting and breaking when one side of 

 the Moweris held off the ground, and besides the liandleis equipped with improved "grips," 

 which keeps the hands in a natural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than a 

 continued gi'asp. with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip. AVe wish to reiterate that our 

 Henderson "Ball-Bearing" Mower is made without regard to cost — to be t-iie best, most 

 durable and the easiest-working Mower on tlie market, and while the prices are necessarily 

 a little higher than those of Mowers simplymade to sell, yet in the end ourMiiwcrwill prove 

 much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs experienced 

 with cheap Mowers. 



GRASS CATCHERS for the Henderson " Ball-Bearingf" 

 Lawn Mowers are of superior heavy duck; bottom of galvanized 

 iron that will not sag nor drag on the ground when filled; they are 

 quickly attached, removed or dumped. 



POR CUTTING TERRACES, Henderson" Ball-Bearing" 



Moweris unequaled; it being a "train gear" Mower, the cutters re- 

 main close to the sod, without bobbing up and down ; consequently, 

 for cutting terraces it works just as weU when the handle is removed. 

 The "terrace iron" is attached to the roller hangers, then a rope is 

 connected, which allows the operatorto stand on the top of the terrace 

 and guide the Mower, as its momentum carries it down the hill, oper- 

 ates the knives and cuts the grass, when it is pulled back by the rope 

 for another swath. Terrace Iron are extra, 60e. each.
