Henderson's Ideal Ball-Bearing” Lawn Mower 
Will cut a lawn 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-bear- 
ing’’ 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 anyone, 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, vet positive, thatit can be set to a hair. Our Mower is also built scientifically correct in other re- 
spects, resulting in a phenomenally light running Mower. Thecastingsare lathe-turned and bored, and the 
journals machine-trimmed, which insures trueness in fitting and smoothness in working, with no 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 1o the same bevel, and, in con- 
sequence, are self-sharpening. 
THE HENDERSON ‘‘BALL-BEARING’’ MOWER has high drive wheels, 
both of which are connected by gearing to the large, open, non-clogging cylinder placed 
far enough back to prevent auy “hichimg up’? OL uc 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 oue side of 
the Moweris 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 
alittle 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. 
GRASS CATCHERS ior the Henderson “ Ball-Bearing”’ 
Lawn Mowers are of superior heavy duck; bottom of galvanized 
iron that will not sag nor drag on the ground when filled; they are 
quickly attached, removed or dumped. 
FOR CUTTING TERRACES, Henderson“ Ball-Bearing”’ 
Mower is unequaled; it being a ‘‘train gear’’ Mower, the cutters re- 
main close to the sod, without bobbing up and down; consequently, 
for cutting terraces it works just as well when the handle is removed. 
The “terraceiron’’ is attached to the roller hangers, then a rope is 
connected, which allows the operator to stand on the top of the terrace 
and guide the Mower, as its momentum carries it down the hill, oper- 
ates the knives and cuts the grass, when itis pulled back by the rope 
for another swath. Terrace Iron are extra, 6Oc. each.
