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 matter 

 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 

 to try the horse for a 

 month. He said "All righ;t, 

 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 was afraid the horse 

 wasn't "all right" and that 

 I might have to whistle 

 for my money if I once 

 parted with it. So I didn't 

 buy the horse, although I 

 wanted it badly. Now this 

 set me thinking. 



You see I make Wash- 

 ing Machines — the "1900 

 Gravity" Washer. 



And I said to myself, 

 lots of people may think 

 about my Washing Ma- 

 chines as I thought about 

 the horse, and about the 

 man who owned it. 

 But rd 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 million 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, I 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 ma- 

 chine. 



I know it will wash a tub full of very dirty 

 clothes in six minutes. I know no other machine 

 ever invented can do that, without wearing out the 

 clothes. 



Our "1900 Gravity" Washer does the work so 

 easy that a child can run it almost as well as a 

 strong woman, and it don't wear the cltohes, fray 

 the edges nor break buttons the way all other ma- 

 chines do. 



It just drives soapy water clear through the 

 fibers 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 machine 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 "1900 Gravity" Washer 

 must be all that I say it is ? 



And you can pay me out of what it saves for you. 

 It will save its whole cost in a few months, in wear 

 and tear on the clothes alone. And then it will save 

 50 cents to 75 cents a week over that in wash- 

 woman'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 50 cents a week till paid for. I'll take that 

 cneerfully, 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 "1900 Gravitj-" Washer that washes 

 clothes in 6 minutes.
