The Henderson "Featherweight" 



Lawn Mower 



The Lightest and Easiest Running Mower in the World Offered this year for the First Time. 



Combines the Strength and Endurance of Steel with Gracefulness in Design. 

 A Mower that any Member of the Family can Use with Ease. Leaves the Lawn Like Velvet. 



The supreme advancement in lawn mower design and construction; representing the principles 

 that we have evolved from our experience and practical knowledge of turf maintenance. The con- 

 struction is an achievement of engineering skill combined with the use of the highest quality materials 

 obtainable. 



As its name implies, it is the lightest mower of its class that has ever been constructed — fully 20% 



lighter than any other of equal strength and durability. All excess weight and clumsiness have been 



eliminated. Perfect balance and steel ball-bearings contribute to its ease of operation; and skillful 



adjustment of the fittings eliminates all rattling and squeakiness. The result is a mower that requires 



no more effort to operate than is needed to push a vacuum cleaner across a rug. 



The wheels are 10 inches in diameter; this permits the mower to roll over rough or uneven 



surfaces without lessening its cutting efficiency. Another feature that is exclusive in the 



Henderson "Featherweight" is that the knife is close to the outer point of the wheels. This 



permits close cutting around trees or other obstructions. The 6J^-inch diameter of the 



reel enables it to cut tall grass as well as to clip the closest turf. The lower blade is made 



of the highest grade cutlery steel hardened, tempered and ground, so that the mower 



always remains sharp. 



The adjustments of this mower are the most positive, permanent and the most 



easily understood that have ever been devised and changes in adjustment of the 



knives may be made almost instantaneously. It never goes out of adjustment 



on its own accord. 



With this machine, lawn mowing is a 

 pleasure. Its readiness and ease of opera- 

 tion, combined with the satisfaction in the 

 results obtained, will be reflected in a better 

 lawn and a more attractive appearance of 

 the home grounds.
