The Henderson Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower 
THE KING OF LAWN MOWERS 
LIGHT RUNNING NOISELESS DURABLE SELF-ADJUSTING DRAW CUT ALWAYS SHARP 
DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS LEAVES THE LAWN SMOOTH AND FREE FROM CORRUGATION 
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels, 
large, open ncn-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. 
“He have been using one of your 21 -inch Henderson Mowers for the past five 
years, mowing about an acre of lawn at least once a week, and it has cost us just 
7 be. for repairs —o record any machine might be proud of.”

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 arc 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 “draw- 
cut” principle corrects the defect in “push cut” Lawn Mowers, and com¬ 
pletely 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 i6 
severed most easily, causing the mower to operate much more easily. It 
also prevents the mower from “bobbing up” in the rear, thus insuring 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 “drawcut” mower will not need it once. It is a 
strictly 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.

Note.—We can supply these mowers either with five or 
eight blades, but always send the five-bladed mower unless 
otherwise ordered. The eight-bladed mower cuts finer, can 
be set to mow close to ground, and is extensively used on 
putting-greens, but it runs a little harder than the five-bladed 
mower.

The Henderson Ball-Bearing “Putting-Green” Mower 
Eight-bladed—Close, Smooth Cutting—Easy Running 
We offer this mower to Golf Clubs as the very best side-wheel mower ever devised for smooth, close 
work on putting-greens. It has an eight-bladed revolving cutter working in ball-bearings and speeded 
high, thus leaving the cut surface of the “green” absolutely free from corrugations, and almost as smooth 
as a billiard table. The knives can be set so low that they will fairly shave the ground if desired; though 
on a level, well-rolled green, with close, fine turf, a quarter to a half-inch clip leaves the surface in the nicest 
condition for putting. A well-known instructor and greenkeeper says: “It is the best mower for putting- 
greens that 1 have ever seen either in this country or in Scotland. It cuts the turf so short and even that it is 
like putting on a carpet.” 
Henderson’s “Putting-Green” Mower is a thoroughly high-grade machine, carefully built of finest 
material, the knives especially being of finest steel. It runs easy, considering the number of knives and fine 
cut. Guaranteed satisfactory.
