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 any 



one, 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 taken 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 



respects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. A 24-inch cut cuts the grass as easily as a 



16-inch cut old style Mower. Your gardener will not now complain about your Mower being "too 



large and a man killer," if you supply him with a " Henderson Ball-bearing " Mower, even of wide cut 



The " Henderson Ball-bearing " is strictly a high-class Mower ; we have not endeavored to make 



-it "cheap," but the best we know how — from the highest quality of iron and sttel. which has enabled 



-us to very materially reduce the weight. Our knives are sharp and cut like razors and will keep so if 



the under knife is kept tightened up to the 

 revolving knives, for then the blades wear 

 to the same bevel, and in consequence, are 

 self-sharpening. 



The Henderson Ball-bearing Mower 

 has drive wheels 11 inches high a 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 knives is correctly pro- 

 portioned 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 rein- 

 forced to prevent twisting and breaking when 

 one side of the Mower is held off the ground, 

 and besides the handle is equipped with im 

 proved " 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.

Note.— The 24-inch cut renders it unnecessary 

 f or us longer to make the small size horse Mower. 

 It will be found very useful on large lawns, even 

 if you have a horse Mower, as there are often times 

 when the ground is too moist and soft to work a 

 horse over it without marring the surface.
