The Henderson 



"Featherweight" 



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 



As its name implies, it is the lightest mower of its class that has ever been 

 constructed — fully 20 per cent 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 skill- 

 ful 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 erBciencv. 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 6J4-inch 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 cutlerv 

 steel hardened, tempered and ground, so that the mower always remains 

 sharp. 



The machine is of the two gear internal driver and pinion tvpe 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 pin- 

 ions. 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 instantaneouslv. 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
