THIS WASHER 



MUST PAY FOR 



ITSELF. 



A HAN tried to sell me a horse once. He s^u 

 It was a fine horse and had nothing the mat- 

 ter with It. I wanted a fine horse, but, I didnt 

 know anything about 

 horses much. Ancfl didn't 

 know the man very well 

 either. 



So I told him I wanted to 

 try the horse for a month. 

 He said "All riKht," but * 

 pay me first, and I'll give 

 you back your money If 

 the horse Isn't all right. •' 



Well, I didn-t like that I 

 I was afraid the horse J 

 was'nt "all right" and that I 

 I might have to whistle for I 

 my money if I once partedB 

 wfthit. Soldidn'tbuythe' 

 horse, although I wanted 

 it badly. Now, this set me 

 thinking, ( . 



You see I make Wash.\ 

 Ing Machines— the "1800^ 

 Gravity" Washer. 



And I said to myself, lots of people may thini 

 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. 1 have soldover half a mil- 

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

 enough to let people try my Washing Machines 

 for a month, t>efore they pay for them just as I 

 wanted to try the horse. 



Now,! know what our "1000 Gravity" Washer 

 will do, , 1 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 fuU of very dirty 

 clothes in Six Miontes. I knownoother machine 

 ever invented can do that, without wearing the 

 clothes. Our ••WOO Gravity" Washer dots the 

 work so easy that a child can run it aimost 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 I to myself, I will do with my *'1900 

 Gravity" Washer what I wanted the m-in 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 freigbt.too. Surely that Is fair 

 enough, isn t it. _ _ 



Doesn't it prove that the "IfiOO Gravity" 

 Washer must be all that ' cay it is? 



And you can pay me out of what it Mves for 

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

 fa wear and tear on the clothes alone. And then 

 It will lave 50 to T5 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 

 of what It saves you. If It saves you 00 cents a 

 week, send me SO cents a week 'lill paid for. I U 

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

 until the machine Itself earns the balance. 



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

 book about the ■'IBOD Gravity" Wasber t^iat

Why Not Cut Off the Two Cars of Filler ? 



It takes 400,000 cars to carry American Fertilizers to our farmers and plant- 

 ers every season. Forty per cent — 2 cars out of 5 — of this stuft is Filler, 

 which requires 160,000 cars ! Order less filler, higher grade and 



Nitrate of Soda 



for your active Nitrogen and save freight bills. 



The greater productive capacity of high-grade fertilizers without so much 

 filler means a greater outbound tonnage for railroads and greater purchasing 

 power for farmers, so that railroads and everybody would be benefited.
