LAWN MOWER. 



The King of Lawn Mowers. 



LIGHT RUNNING. NOISELESS— DURABLE— SELF 

 ADJUSTING. DRAW CUT. ALWAYS SHARP. 

 DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS. 

 Leaves the Lawn Smooth and Free from Corrugation. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MO- 

 WER is made without regard to cost — to be the best, 

 most durable, and the easiest-working Mower o n 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. It 

 is superior to all other Mowers in the following respects; 

 the axles of the revolvingcutter, like the axles of a bicycle, 

 work in self-adjusting "ball-bearing" journal boxes or 

 cups, which reduces the friction enormously. The Mower is 

 also built scientifically correct in other respects. The 

 ' drawcut " principle corrects the defect in " push cut " 

 Lawn Mowers, and completely reverses the old way of 

 cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across the sharp 

 edge of the Stationery Knife, which is the cutting knife, 

 and is severed most easily. (See illustration.) 



It causes the mower to operate much more easily. It 

 prevents the mower from "bobbing up " in the rear 

 thus ensuring an even cut. The heavier the grass, the 

 closer the mower clings to the turf. It makes the mower 

 self-sharpening; the drawing of the wiper blades across 

 the edge of the stationery knife keeps it always sharp and 

 prevents gouging. Where the "push cut " style of 

 mower requires " sharpening " a dozen times, the Hender- 

 son Ball-Bearing " drawcut " mower will not need it once. 

 It is a strictly a high class Mower, made from the highest 

 quality of iron and steel. The castings are lathe-turned 

 and bored, and the journals machine-trimmed, which 

 insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with 

 no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. 

 We have so simplified the adjustments in our new Ball- 

 Bearing Mower that even those ignorant of mechanics 

 will have no trouble in always keeping our Mower in fine 

 cutting order for years and the lawn in uninjured condi- 

 tion. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has 



high drive wheels, large, open non-clogging cylinder. 

 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 by other 

 Mowers. The handles are braced and reinforced to pre- 

 vent 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 na- 

 tural position, gives more power, and is less tiresome than 

 a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal 

 grip-
