The Henderson 

 "Featherweight" 



BALL 

 BEARING 



Lawn Mower 



The Lightest and Easiest Running Mower in the 



World — Any Member of the Family May Use It 



With Ease. Leaves the Lawn Like Velvet 



This mower is fully 20 per cent lighter than any other mower of 

 equal strength and durability. All excess weight has been eliminated. 

 Perfect balance and steel ball-bearings contribute to its ease of opera- 

 tion; and skillful adjustment of the fittings prevents all ratting 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 6 ' 4 -'nch diameter 

 of the reel enables it to cut tall grass as well as to clip the closest turf. 

 It has 4 crucible steel oil tempered blades. The lower blade is made of 

 the highest grade cutlery steel hardened, tempered and ground, so 

 that the mower always remains sharp. 



The machine is of the two gear internal driver and pinion type with 

 ratchet in pinions. The pinions revolve on the reel shaft when the mower 

 Is rolled backwards. The ratchet is of the double pawl design placed 

 in pinions. The finish is in red and gold. 



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. 



Offered last year for the first time, the instant popularity and the 

 large volume of our sales of this new mower has made it possible to 

 reduce our cost of production so materially that our customers can now 

 enjoy a saving of over 20 per cent on last year's prices. The reduced
