THE HENDERSON 



SELF-ADJUSTING — BALL-BEARING 



LAWN v MOWER. 



The King of Lawn 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 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, resulting in a phenomenally light running 

 machine. 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 work- 

 ing, with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and 



play. The knives, of the finest steel and temper, cut like razors, the self-adjusting ball- 

 bearings keep the revolving knives perfectly true, so they wear evenly and to the same 

 bevel against the under or stationary knife. 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 con_ 

 dition. 



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 "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.
