THE HENDERSON self-adjusting, ball-bearing 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 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 simplymade 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 re- 

 volving 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 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 

 Stationary 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-sharpen- 

 ing; 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 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- 

 Bea ing 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 

 uniniured condition. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels, 

 large, open non-clogging cylinder. 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 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. 



GRASS CATCHERS. 



GRASS CATCHERS for the Henderson "Ball-Bearing" Lawn Mower 



superior heavy duck; bottom of galvanized iron that will not sag or drag on the 

 ground when filled; they are quickly attached, removed or dumped. 



PRICES FOR THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWERS. 



{Strictly net; no charges for packing or cartage.) 

 Five-Bladed. Eight Bladed. 



16-inch cut, $7.50 Grass Catcher Extra, $1.75 $9 . 50 



18-inch cut, $8.25 Grass Catcher Extra, $1.85 10 . 50 



21-inch cut, $9.00 Grass Catcher Extra, $2.00 12 00 



Note: We can supply these mowers either with five or eight blades but 

 always send the five bladed mower unless otherwise ordered. The _ eight- 

 bladed mower cuts finer and is extensively used on putting-Greens but it runs 

 a little harder. 



The revolving knives appear to be reversed 

 to "push cut" mowers. We have proven our 

 "draw cut" principal far better. Read why. 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER 



"Your 'Henderson' Mower proves better than 

 you claim for it. It is a delight tc use it and it 

 is a great favor ate with my neighbors." 



CLARENCE L. LERSCHNER, 

 20 Lotus Road, Ridgewood, N. J. 



" I want to tell you how much I think of my 

 21-inch Henderson Ball Bearing Lawn Mower. 

 I used it all of last season and have commenced 

 using it again this spring and really think more 

 of it every time I use it. With all its great cutting 

 surface it is remarkably easy of operation. We 

 have a large lawn — but I cover the ground with 

 it in a hurry, often mow it before breakfast with 

 my Henderson." F. A. STORY. 



Catesville, Texas. 



We have been using one of your 21-inch 

 Henderson Mowers for the past five years, mow- 

 ing about an acre of lawii at least once a week, 

 and it has cost us just 75c. for repairs — a record 

 any machine might be proud of." 



ESTATE JOHN MURRIN, Carbondale, Pa. 



" We have several makes of mowers, but none 

 can cut the lawn as well as the Henderson Ball- 

 Bearing." FRANK H. VILLE, Freemansburg.Pa. 



" Some years ago we purchased of you a "Hen- 

 derson" Lawn Mower. We have used it constantly 

 on roitgh, sandy ground, and it has done all its 

 work well. Our neighbor has used three mowers 

 in the same length of time." . 



R. M. MONROE, Cocoanut Grove, Fla.
