CUSTOMERS' REPORTS ABOUT 
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING 
LAWN MOWER. 
“ I am convinced that your Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower is not 
only constructed on scientific principles, but is superior to all 
others. In actual work it saves about half the time, and works 
easily and charmingly.” 
JOHN V.N. STAN DISH. 
{Pres. Lombard University), Galesburg, 111. 
" I have just had my lawns cut with the 24-inch Mower 
[Henderson's Ball-Bearing) that you shipped me. The ease wi.h 
which it runs and the quality of the work done delights me. / have 
had several machines prior to this one, but none could compare 
unth the Henderson ." JAMES HAR'fc, 
Christopher, King Co., Washington. 
“ 7 have used the Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower all summer, and 
it is the best machine I have ever used. It lays close to the turf 
in long grass, while other machines bob up and down: and the 
knives never clog up.” WILLIAM STEWART, 
Springfield, Mass. 
“ Your 21-inch Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower more than pleases 
me, and it has so excited the jealousy of my neighbor that he wishes 
me to order one for him exactly like mine. Please ship it by, etc.” 
DR. CHAS. R. SMITH, 
Tioga, Pa. 
“ The Henderson Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower is the best cut¬ 
ting and easiest worked mower I ever saw.” 
A. PITjCALfTHLY, 
Western Rhynde, Bridge of Earn, Perk shire, Scotland. 
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 ex¬ 
perienced 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, resulting in a phenomenally light running 
machine. 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 work¬ 
ing, with no irregularities to wear off and leave rattle and 
play. The knives, of the finest steel and temper, cut like razors, the self-adjusting ball¬ 
bearings keep the revolving knives perfectly true, so they wear evenly and to the same 
bevel against the under or stationary knife. 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 con_ 
dition. 
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.
