THE HENDERSON S K? LAWN MOWER. 
LIGHT RUNNING. NOISELESS—DURABLE — 
SELF-ADJUSTING. TENSION DRAW CUT. AL¬ 
WAYS SHARP. DOES NOT PULL THE GRASS. 
:: THE KING OF LAWN MOWEKS 
Leaves the Lawn Smooth 
— and 
Free from Corrugation. 
r HE 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 draw-cut ” 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 Station¬ 
ary Knife, which is the cutting knife, and is severed most easily. 
It causes the mower to operhte 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 tdrf. 
It makes the mower self sharpening; the drawing of the wiper blades across the edge of the station¬ 
ary knife keeps it always sharp and prevents gouging. Where the " push cut ” style of mower re¬ 
quires “ sharpening ” a dozen times, the Henderson Ball-Bearing “tension draw-cut” 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 truenesa 
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 
splendid condition. 
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 pre¬ 
vent 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 la 
less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a hori¬ 
zontal grip.

CUSTOMERS REPORTS ABOUT THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING LAWN MOWER. 
“ I had one of the Henderson Ball-Bearing mowers some years ago and will 
not be without one again while I have a lawn. I have used several different kinds 
o/ mowers, but have never seen one that compares with yours. Usually it is a 
dreaded job to mow a lawn, but with the ball-bearing, it works so perfectly and so 
easily, it is a pleasure to mow with it.” H. THOMPSON, Pratt, Kansas. 
“ Ship at once one Henderson Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower 2\-inch cut, to County 
Commissioner of Wyoming County, Pa., Tunkhannock, Pa. I bought one of the 
above mowers about ten years ago for the Commissioners and it has been used every 
season since without any repairs and we have a large lawn. It has given good 
satisfaction.” CHAS. H. YOUNG, Tunkhannock, Pa. 
" Just a line to advise you the 18 In “ Henderson ” Lawn Mower received from 
you a few days ago is superior to anything I have ever seen or used and I am 
more than pleased with same.” FRED WILDEY, Livingston, N. Y. 
"We have several makes of mowers, but none cut the lawn as well as the Hender¬ 
son Ball-Bearing." FRANK II. VILLE, Freemansburg, Pa. 
“ Some years ago we purchased of you a “ Henderson ” Lawn Mower. We 
have used it constantly on rough, sandy ground. It has done all its work well. 
I do not believe any other mower would stand the treatment this one gets. Our 
neighbor has used three mowers in the same length of lime.” 
R. M. MUNROE, Cocoanut Grove, Fla. 
“ As far as my experience goes the Henderson Self-Adjusting Ball-Bearing 
Lawn Mower is the most nearly perfect Lawn Mower ever made. Ten years ago 
I purchased the " Henderson ” mower having a 24,-inch cut. It was used constantly 
for 4 years on our park and 6 years on my home grounds. It still does good 
work and to all appearances is good for another decade of service. 
DR. JOHN V. N. ST AN DISH, President Park Commission, Galesburg, III .
