THIS WASHER 



MUST PAY FOR 



rrSELP. 



A HAN tried to sell me a borse once. He saki 

 It was a fine horse and had nothing the mat- 

 ter with it. I wanted a fine horse, but, I dldnt 

 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? month. 

 He said "AU rlKht," but I 

 pay me first, and I'll give 

 you back your money if 

 the horse isn't all right.'' , 



Well, I didnt like that 1 

 i was afraid the horse! 

 was'nt "all right" and that I 

 i might nave to whistle fori 

 my money if I once partedl 

 witbit. So I didn't buy thel 

 horse, although I wantedf 

 it badly. Now,thi3 8et mel 

 thinking, L 



You see 1 maKe Wash.r"' 

 ing Machines— the "1900^ 

 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. I have soldoverhalf 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 lor them just as I 

 wanted to try the horse. 



Now, I know what our "IflOO Gravity" Washer 

 will da..,! know it will wash the clothes, without 

 wearing or tearing them, in less than half the 

 time they can be washed by band or by any other 

 machine. L> 



I know it win wash a tub full of very dirty 

 clothes in Six Minutes. I know noother machine 

 ever invented can do that, without wearing the 

 clothes. Our ••ISIOO Gravity" Washer does the 

 work so easy that a child can run It almost as 

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

 clothes, fray the edges, nor break buttons, the 

 way all other machines da 



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 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 you a "1900 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 freigbtLtoo. Surely that is fair 

 enough, isn t it. 



Doesn't it prove that the "1900 Gravity" 

 Washer must be all that I f<ay It la? 



And you can pay me out of what It ^aves for 

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

 a wear and tear on the clothes alone. And then 

 It will lave 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 

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

 week, send me GO cents a week 'tjlf paid for. I'll 

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

 mitll the machine itself earns the balance. 



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

 book about the -NUQ Oravttr" Wasber t^iat 

 wasbea ckothw to m* miwin i i

t Mother's Day 



Mother's Day this year will be observed 

 on May 10th. Probably no cujstom has met 

 with such instantaneous and general appro- 

 val in such a short space of time as has 

 Mother's Day. Year by year the number 

 of churches and other public institutions 

 that refer to the practice of 'sending- flowers 

 or writing- to our Mothers, or wearing flow- 

 ers in their memory, that is encouraged 

 by the observance of this day, has been in- 

 creasing. This year the day is likely to 

 be more widely observed than ever before. 

 Horticultural societies should help on the 

 good work.
