The Henderson 



SELF-ADJUSTING-BALL-BEARING 



Lawn Mower. 



The King of Lawn Mowers! 



LIGHT RUNNING. NOISELESS— DURABLE— SELF- 



AX) JUSTING. TENSION 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 

 simply made to sell, yet in the end our Mower will prove 

 much cheaper, aside from annoying delays and repairs ex- 

 perienced 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 scientifically 

 correct in other respects. The tension 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. 



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 

 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 Bail-Bearing 

 Tension 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 ir- 

 regularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. 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 five-blade. 

 non-clogging cylinder. 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 moif power, and is less 

 tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip. 



GRASS CATCHERS for 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.
