THE HENDERSON ^Er LAWN MOWER 



THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high 

 drive wheels, large, open 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 more power, 

 and is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, 

 on a horizontal grip. 



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 self-adjusting "ball-bearing" journal boxes or cups, which 

 reduces the friction enormously. The Mower is also built 

 scientifically correct in other respects. The "draw-cut" 

 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, causing 

 the mower to operate much more easily. It also prevents 

 the mower from "bobbing up" in the rear, thus insuring 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 Bali-Bearing "drawcut" mower will 

 not need it once. It is a strictly 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-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.

Five-Bladed Eight-Bladed Grass Catcher.

18-inch cut 22 75 26 00 Extra 5.00

Note. — We can supply these mowers either with five or eight 

 blades, but always send the fivc-bladed mower unless other- 

 wise ordered. The eight-bladed mower cuts finer, can be 

 set to mow close to ground, and is extensively used on putting- 

 greens, but it runs a little harder than the five-bladed mower. 



GRASS CATCHERS for the Henderson "Ball-Bearing" 

 Lawn Mowers of 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. (For prices, see 

 above.) 



The New Improved Henderson Horse Lawn Mower 



For large lawns, golf courses, cemeteries, parks, etc. The latest and best. Knives can be raised or lowered instantly. It is simple in construction 

 and very durable, the best steel and iron being used in its manufacture, and it is finished in the most perfect manner. A lever beside the driver enables 

 him to cut grass any height from the ground and to easily and quickly raise the blades over stones or other obstruction without stopping the horse or 

 leaving his seat. A slight movement of a small lever throws the mower in or out of gear without stopping. The side draft rod is attached to left side of 

 mower, keeping the horse onlthe cut grass and preventing the trampling down of grass, which is to be cut. The revolving knives, five in number, are "high 

 speeded," making a continuous cut and leaving the surface of the 1 awn as smooth as velvet. The rollers, three in number, 15 in. in diameter, with triple 

 pawls in each roll make the most powerful and instantaneous drawing mechanism ever put in a lawn mower. This feature maintains motion of blades 

 even when turning sharp 

 corners, a great advantage 

 over double roll mowers 

 whose knives have no mo- 

 tion when turning corners. 

 These mowers will weigh, 

 including shafts and driver, 

 600 to 700 pounds, thereby 

 rolling the lawn at the same 

 time it is cutting; or the 

 cutter may be thrown out 

 of gear and the machine 

 used for rolling alone.
