The Henderson "Featherweight" Lawn Mower 



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

 Combines Strength and Endurance with Graceful Design 



A MOWER THAT ANY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY MAY USE 

 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% lighter than any other 

 of equal strength and durability. All excess weight and clumsi- 

 ness have been eliminated. Perfect balance and steel ball- 

 bearings contribute to its ease of operation: and skillful adjust- 

 ment 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 6 X-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 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 devisea and 

 changes in adjustment of the knives may be made almost instantane- 

 ously. It never goes out of adjustment on its own accord. 



With this machine lawn mowing is a pleasure. Its readiness and 

 ease of operation, combined with the satisfaction in the results ob- 

 tained, will be reflected in a better lawn and a more attractive appear- 

 ance of the home grounds. 



Pennsylvania Lawn Cleaner 



Tliis machine will remove from the lawn not 

 only the cut grass, but all sorts of litter, leaves 

 and trash, leaving the grass standing upright 

 andfreefromforeignmatterthatpreventsthe 

 ■sunlight and dew from getting to the root 



The suction created by the three 

 rapidly revolving brushes (or rakes) 

 cleans the lawn on the same princi 

 as the vacuum cleaner operates o 

 carpet. It is easy to operate, and 

 with it one man will do more 

 and better work than four 

 men with hand rakes. 



The brushes are recom- 

 mended for removing 

 worm-casts from putting 

 greens, tennis courts, 

 bowling greens and other 

 close-cut lawns, where a 

 smooth surface is essen- 

 tial. It can also be used 

 as a lawn or sidewalk 

 cleaner, for removing 

 leaves and other litter. 



Provision is made for 

 adjustment to take up the wear of the brushes, thus insuring the same 

 efficiency of the sweeper until the brushes are worn out. 



The change from rakes to brushes, or vice versa, is easily made without 

 taking the machine apart.
