The Henderson 



Self 'Adjusting — Ball-Bearing 



Lawn Mower. 



The King of LavA/n Mowers ! 



LIGHT RUNNING. NOISELESS— DURABLE— SELF- 

 ADJUSTING. 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 experienced 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. (See illuslration) . 



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 ii 

 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 irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. We 

 have so simplified the adjustments in our new Bail-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 more power, and is less 

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



GRASS CATCHERS for the Henderson " Bail-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.
