CUSTOMERS* REPORTS ABOUT THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER 



"TFe have thoroughly tested your most admir* 

 able Ball - Bearing Lawn Mower. It walks 

 right through our wiry, tough Bermuda grass, 

 cutting it as easily as if blue grass." 



J AS. E. JOUETT, 

 Rear- Admiral, U. S. Navy, Orlando, Fla. 

 "Your 21-inch Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower 

 more than pleases me, and it has so ercited the 

 jealousy of my neighbor that he wishes -me to 

 order one for him exactly like mine. Please 

 ship it by, etc." 



Dr. CHAS. R. SMITH. 



Tioga. Pa. 

 "The Henderson Ball- Bearing Lawn Mower 

 ■is the best cutting and easiest worked mower 

 I ever saw." . A. PITCA1THLY, 



Wester Rhynde, Bridge of Earn, 



Perthshire, Scotland. 



"We used your Henderson Ball - Bearing 



Mower all last summer, and must say that it 



•is the best machine we have ever tried on our 



lawns, and we have about every make in use, 



but the men all agree that yours is the 'boss'." 



WM. H. PLATT. 



Comptroller, Lake Side Cemetery, Erie, Pa. 



"I am convinced that your Ball-Bearing Lawn 



sp Mower is not only constructed on scientific prin- 



W ciples, but is superior to all others. In actual 



work it saves about half the time, and works 



easily and charmingly." 



JOHN V. N. ST AN DISH. 

 (Pres. Lombard University), Galesburg, III. 



"I have just had my lawns cut with the 34- 

 inch Mower (.Henderson's Ball-Bearing) that 

 you shipped me. The ease with which it runs 

 and the quality of the ivork done delights me. I 

 have had several machines prior to this one, but 

 none could compare with the Henderson." 



JAMES HART, 

 Christopher , King Co., Washington. 



"I have used the Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower 

 all summer, and it is the best machine I have 

 ever used. It lays close to the turf in long 

 grass, while other machines bob up and down, 

 and the knive3 never clog up." 



WILLIAM STEWART. 



Springfield. Mass. 



A 21=inch cut pushes as easily as an ordinary 

 Mower of only 16=inch cut. 



Cuts high grass with greatest ease. 

 Leaves tbe lawn as smooth as velvet and free from corrugations. 



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 ex- 

 perienced w-ith 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 "ball-bearing" 

 journal boxes or cups, which reduces the friction enormously. 

 It is also built scientifically correct in other respects, re- 

 sulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. A. 21-inch 

 cuts the grass as easily as a 16-inch old-style Mower. It is 

 strictly a high-class Mower, made the best we know how — 

 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. The knives, of the finest steel and temper, 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. 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 

 condition. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has 

 high drive wheels, 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 corru- 

 gated 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 

 handles in a natural position, gives more power, and is less 

 tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a 

 horizontal grip. 



Grass Catchers for the Henderson B. B. Mowers. 

 These Catchers are of superior heavy duck, withiron bottom; 

 are quickly attached, removed or dumped.
