THE H l| E TOSDN; BALL . BEARmG ' 



Hand Lawn Mower. 



Invention's Ripest Fruit! Has Bearings like a Bicycle! 

 The Lightest Working Mower Made! 



A 24-inch cut pushes as easily as an ordinary Mower of only 

 ((.inch cut. 



A lawn may now be mown 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 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 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 respects, re- 

 sulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. A 24-inch cut cuts the 

 grass as easily as a ltj-inch cut old style Mower. 



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 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 " 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 seU,.yet in the end our Mower 

 will prove much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs ex- 

 perienced with cheap Mowers.

inch cut re?iders it unnecessary for us longer to make tke 

 Mowers. It will be found very useful on large lawns, even if 

 Mower, as there are often times wlien the ground is too moist 

 and soft to work a horse over it without marring the surface. 



UNIVERSAL p l ^e LAWN MOWER. 



For the benefit of those who want a low-price mower, and for those who have but little 

 grass to cut, we, this season are offering the best cheap mower made. While the prices are 

 as low as "department store" prices, yet this mower will be found much better, both in 

 quality of knives and quality of work. These mowers of course, do not compare with our 

 Henderson H?gh Wheel Bali-Bearing Mower either in perfection of work. durability , or ease 

 of operation ; yet, for a low-price mower they are superior to most others on the market.

 manufactured, simple in construction, 

 very durable ; nothing but the very- 

 best steel and iron is put in it. It is. 

 quickly adjusted to cut high or low, 

 and the arrangement for throwing in 

 and out of gear and for raising the 

 knives when passing over stones, 

 rough places or roads is operated from 

 the seat. The side draught keeps the 

 horse on the cut grass and prevents 

 trampling down that which is to be 

 mown The revolving knives are 

 "high speeded," making a continuous 

 cut and leaving the surface of the lawn 

 as smooth as velvet. We make it only 

 in one size, 36-inch cut, which we have 

 found from our long experience with 

 lawn affairs to be the best size for 

 horse power.

 seat, shaft and side draught, $62.00.
