THIS WASHER 



MUST PAY FOR 



ITSELF. 



A MAN tried to sell me a horse once. He sai»^ 

 f\ It was a fine horse and bad nothing the mat- 

 '■■■terwithlt. I wanted a fine horse, but, I didnt 

 know anything about 

 horses much. Anal didn't 

 know the man very well 

 either. 



So I told him I wanted to 

 try the horse for a month. 

 He said "All right," but ' 

 pay me first, and I'll give 

 you back your money If 

 the horse Isn't all right. •' 



Well, I didn-t lilte that J 

 I was afraid the horse I 

 was'nt "all right" and that I 

 I might have to whistle fori 

 my money if I once partedF 

 withlt. So I didn't buy the 

 horse, although I wanted 

 it badly. Now, this set me 

 thinking, i , 



You sea I make Wash- , JPV/ 

 ing Machines— the "1900^--</' 

 Gravity" Washer. — ~ 



And I said to myself, lots of people may thini 

 about my Washing Wachine as X 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 1, it is only fait 

 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 "IflOO Gravity" Washer 

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

 wearing or tearing them, in less than half thd 

 time they can be washed by band or by any other 

 machine. ^ 



I know it will wash a tub full of very dirty 

 clothes in Six Minutes. 1 know noother machine 

 ever invented can do that, without wearing the 

 clothes. Our "liKIO Gravity" Washer does the 

 work soeasy that a child can run It almost as 

 well as a strong woman, and it don't wear the 

 clothes, fray the edges, nor break buttons, the 

 way all other machines do. 



It just drives soapy water clear through the 

 fibres of the clothes like a- force pump might. 



So, said 1 to myself, I will do with my "1900 

 Gravity" Washer what 1 wanted the man to do 

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

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

 offer every time. 



Let me send yon a "1900 Gravity" Washer on a 

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

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

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

 back and pay the freight.too. Surely that is fair 

 enough, isn t it. _ . _ 



Doesn't it prove that the "1000 Gravity" 

 Washer must be all that I say It Is? 



And you can pay me out of what It laves for 

 you. < It will save its whole cost in a few months 

 in wear and tear on the clcthes 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 out 

 Df what It saves you. If it saves you 60 cents a 

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

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

 until the machine itself earns the balance. 



Drop ma a lino to-day. and let me send you a 

 book about the "MOO Gravity- Washer UM

Deering Drills 





GIVE your seed a chance to produce 

 a record crop by sowing it with a 

 Deering drill. Deering disk and hoe con- 

 struction puts the right amount of seed in 

 the right position at the bottom of the fur- 

 row, to insure your getting a full even stand of 

 grain. 



No matter whether your ground is hard or soft, 

 gravel or clay, smooth or rough, level or hilly, there 

 IS a Deering drill in the line that will plant your 

 seed as it should be planted. 



Examine Deering drill construction and the many 

 features. Note the light draft, the large capacity 

 grain boxes, the double-run force feed that handles 

 all kinds of grain and seed, the ease of regulation 

 to suit soil and seed — and a dozen other points to 

 grow enthusiastic over. 



See the drills themselves at the I H C local agent's 

 place of business. Our catalogues tell you all the 

 features of all the types. Get catalogues from the
