The Henderson 
Self-Adjusting—Ball-Bearing 
Lawn Mower. 
Note The HENDERSON 
“TENSION 
DRAW CUT.” 
The King of Lawn Mowers! 
The revolving knives ap¬ 
pear to be put in back¬ 
wards. Exactly reversed 
to “push cut” mowers. 
We have proven our 
“ draw cut ” principle 
far better. Read why. 
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 experienced 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. The 
“tension drawcut” principle corrects the defect in “push 
cut” Lawn Mowers, and completely reverses the old way 
of cutting the grass. The grass is drawn across the sharp 
edge of the Stationary Knife, which is the cutting knife, 
and is severed most easily. ( See illustration ). 
It causes the mower to operate much more easily. It 
prevents the mower from “ bobbing up ” in the rear thus 
ensuring an even cut. The heavier the grass, the closer 
the mower clings to the turf. It makes the mower self 
sharpening; the drawing of the wiper blades across the edge of the stationary knife keeps it 
always sharp and prevents gouging. Where the “push cut" style of mower requires "sharpening” 
a dozen times, the Henderson Ball-Bearing “tension drawcut” mower will not need it once. 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 working, with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and play. 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 condition. 
CUSTOMERS' REPORTS ABOUT 
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING 
LAWN MOWER. 
“ Just a line to advise you that the 18 -in. Henderson Ball- 
Bear inn Lawn Mower received from you a few days ago is superior 
to any mower I have ever used or seen and I am more than pleased 
with it." FRED WILDEY, 
Livingston, N. Y. 
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.
