THIS WASHER 



MUST PAY FOR 



ITSELF. 



A MAN tried to sell me a horse once. He said 

 it was a fine horse and had nothing: the mat- 

 ter with it. I wanted a fine horse, but, I didn't 

 know anything about 

 horses much. And I didn't 

 know the man very well 

 either. 



So I told him I wanted tc 

 try the horse for a month. 

 He said ''AH right," but ' 

 pay me tirst, and I'll gnve 

 you back your money if 

 the horse isn't all right." 



Well, I didn't like that, i 

 I was afraid the horse | 

 was'nt **all right" and that I 

 1 might have to whistle fori 

 my money if 1 once parted! 

 with it. So I didn't buy thel 

 horse, although I wanted! 

 it badly. Now, this set meg 

 thinking, r 



You see I make Wash- 

 ing Machines— the "1900''- 

 Gravity" Washer. 



And I said to myself, lots of pcopie may think 

 about my Washing Machine as I thought about 

 the horse, and about the man who owned it. 



But I'd never know, because they wouldn't 

 write and tell me. You see I sell my Washing 

 Machines by mail. I have sold over half a mil- 

 lion that way. So. thought I, it is only fair 

 enough to let people try my Washing Machines 

 for a month, before they pay for them, just as I 

 wanted to try the horse. 



Now.! know what our **1900 Gravity" Washer 

 will do. I know it will wash the clothes, without 

 wearing or tearing them, in less than half the 

 time they can be washed by hand or by any other 

 machine. 



I know it will wash a tub full of very dirty 

 clothes in Six Minutes. I know no other machine 

 ever invented can ''o that, without wearing the 

 clothes. Our '*19{)u Gravity" Washer does the 

 work so easy that a child can run it ahnost as 

 well as a strong .^^oman, and it don't wear the 

 clothes, fray the -dges, nor break buttons, the 

 way all other machines do. 



It just drives soapy water clear through the 

 fibres of the clothes ifke a force pump might. 



So, said I to myself, I will do with my »'^1900 

 Gravitv" Washer what I wanted the man to do 

 with the horse. Only I won't wait for people to 

 ask me. I'll offer tirst, and I'll make good the 

 offer every time. 



Let me send you a "ItKK) Gravity" Washer on a 

 month's free trial. I'll pay the freight out of 

 my own pocket, and if you don't want the ma 

 chine after you've used it a month, I'll take it 

 back and pay the -iieight too. Surely that is fair 

 enough, isn't it. 



Doesn't it provc that the **1900 Gravity" 

 Washer must be all that I say it is ? 



And you can pay me out of what it saves for 



?'ou. It will save its whole cost in a few months 

 n wear and tear on the clothes alone. And then 

 it will save 50 to 75 cents a week over that in 

 washwoman's wages. If you keep the machine 

 after the month's trial, I'll let you pay for it ouf 

 of what it saves you. If it saves you 60 cents a 

 week, send me 50 cents a week 'till paid for. I'll 

 take I hat cheerfully, and I'll wait for my money 

 until 1 he machine itself earns the balance. 



Drop me a line to-day, and let me send you a 

 book about the •'1900 Gravity" Washer that 

 washes clothes in six minutes. 

 AddresH me personally; 

 B. H. MORRIS. Manaeer, "1900" Washer 

 Co.. 357 Yonge St.. Toronto.

Backing Up the Purchaser 



TF we didn't have an eye to the future, and if we 

 -»■ didn't care what }'ou or anj-bodj^ else was going to think 

 of us, we could sell engines and other machines for much 

 less money, but we could not put 1 H C quality into them. The kicks 

 would start coming in right away, and soon there would be no market 

 for I H C engines. 



I II C engines stand for everything that is opposed to such a policy. 

 The I H C way is to build always for the respect and good will of tho 

 Canadian farmer, and to that end it has been successfully working for 

 many years. The agent who sells you an I H C engine expects on its 

 merits to do business with you again. The purchaser of an 



I H C Oil and Gas Engine 



buys security and safety with it. He banks on the many years of 

 S(iuare deahng and the reputation back ofalllHC machines. He 

 knows it is the best engine bargain becauseit gives him efficient service 

 in all kinds of farm work — pum])ing, sawing wood, spraying, running 

 rejiair sliop, grindstone, cream separator, etc. He knows that I H C 

 responsibility is always back of the engine. 



I H C oil and gas engines operate on gas, gasoline, naphtha, kero- 

 sene, distillate, and alcohol. Sizes range from 1 to SO-horse power. 

 They are built vertical, liorizontal, portable, stationary, skidded, air- 

 cooled and water-cooled. I H C oil tractors range in size from 6-i2 to 



30-()0-horse power for plowing, threshing, etc. 

 Look over an I H C engine at the local agent's. Learn from 



him wfiat it will do for you, or write for catalogues to
