THE HENDERSON BALLBEARING LAWN MOWER 
The K i ng of Lawn Mowers! 
TRIED AND TKUE.—LIGHT RUNNING. 
NOISELESS.—DURABLE.—SELF-ADJUSTING. 
ALWAYS SHAFT.—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 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. A 21-inch cuts the grass as easily as a 16-inch old- 
style Mower. It is stricly a high-class Mower, made the best 
we know how—from th'c 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. The knives, of the finest steel and tem¬ 
per, 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 ; and, 
in consequence, are self-sharpening. 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. 
THE HENDERSON BALL-BEARING MOWER has high drive wheels, large, open, non- 
clogging cylinder placed far enough back to prevent any “kicking up” of the Mower when 
it strikes heavy grass. 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 handles in a natural position, gives more power, and 
is less tiresome than a continued grasp, with wrists twisted, on a horizontal grip.

Satisfactory on Bermuda Grass Lawns in the Tropics. 
From the Imperial Department of Agriculture, Dominica, British West Indies, to an in¬ 
quiring resident: 
" Dear Sir: We can not advise you to purchase any Mower but Peter Henderson•& Co.’s 
Ball-Bearing. Other Mowers have so often proved failures with us, a>id out of the dozens of Hen¬ 
derson’s we have used at the Botanic Station and elsewhere we have never met with a failure.” 
ARCHIBOLD J. BROOKS, Curator. 
From the late Rear Admiral, James E. Jouett, Orlando, Fla.: 
" We have thoroughly tested your most admirable Ball-Bearing Lawn Mower. It 'walks 
right through our wiry, tough Bermuda grass, cutting it as easily as if blue grass.” 
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. 
“ Your Henderson Mower is a good machine, simple, strong, 
cuts finely and does not look like a motor car as most of the Eng¬ 
lish mowers do.” PAUL A. ZUBER, 
Mulhousc, Alsace. 
“ I have just had my lawns cut with the 24-inch Moiver 
( Henderson's Ball-Bearing) that you shipped me. The ease with 
zeith which it runs and the quality of the work done delights me. 
I have had several machines Prior to this one, but none could 
compare with the Henderson.” JAMES HART, 
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 lavs 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 2\-inch Ball-Bearing Lawn Merwer 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 mute. 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. PITCAITHLY, 
Western Rhynde, Bridge of Earn, Perthshire, Scotland. 
We used your 11cnderso>i Ball-Bearing Mower all last sum¬ 
mer, and must say that it is the best machine we have ever tried 
on our lawns, and we have about every make in use. but the me>i 
all agree that yours is the ' boss.’ ”
