The Henderson S^Biaig^ 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 MOWER has high drive wheels, 

 large, open ncn-clogging cylinder. The spiral of the knives is correctly 

 proportioned to give a continuous cut, ler^ving 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 have been using one of yciir 21-inch Henderso^t Mowers for the past five 

 years, mowing about an acre of law7i at least once a week, and it has cost us just 

 75c, for repairs — o record any machine might be proud of." 



ESTATE JOHN MURRIN, 



Carbondale, Pa, 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER is 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. It is superior to all other Mowers in the following respects; the 

 axles of the revolving cutter, 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 scientificaUy correct in other respects. The "draw- 

 cut" principle corrects the defect in "push cut" Lawn Mowers, and com- 

 pletely reverses the old way of cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across 

 the sharp edge of the Stationary Knife, which is the cutting knife, and is 

 severed most easily, causing the mower to operate much more easily. It 

 also prevents the mower from "bobbing up" in the rear, thus insuring 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 stationary knife keeps it always 

 sharp and prevents gouging. Where the "push cut" style of 

 mower requires "sharpening" a dozen times, the Henderson 

 Ball-Bearing "drawcut" mower will not need it once. It is a 

 strictly 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 

 ofE^ and leave rattle and play. We have so simplified the 

 adjustments in our new Bail-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 condition.

 otherwise ordered. The eight-bladed mower cuts finer, can 

 be set to mow close to ground, and is extensively used on 

 putting-greens, but it runs a little harder than the five-bladed 

 mower.

The Henderson ilt^t, "Putting-Green" Mower 



Eight-bladed — Close, Smooth Cutting — Easy Running 



We offer this mower to Golf Clubs as the very best side-wheel mower ever devised for smooth, close 

 work on putting-greens. It has an eight-bladed revolving cutter working in ball-bearings and speeded 

 high, thus leaving the cut surface of the "green" absolutely free from corrur;ations, and almost as smooth 

 as a billiard table. The knives can be set so low that they will fairly shave the ground if desired; though 

 on a level, well-rolled green, with close, fine turf, a quarter to a half-inch clip leaves the surface in the nice:,l 

 condition for putting. A well-known instructor and greenkeeper says: "It is the best mower for putting- 

 greens that I have ever seen either in this coimtry or in Scotland. It cuts the ttirf so short and even that it is 

 like putting on a carpet." 



Henderson's "Putting-Green" Mower is a thoroughly high-grade machine, carefully built of finest 

 material, the knives especially being of finest steel. It runs easy, considering the number of knives and fine 

 cut. Guaranteed satisfactory.
