BOBBIffi FIMIH WISHER. 
This machine has been O'N' TEIAL for the past sli 
months in every State and Territory In the Union, and the 
almost tmanimous verdict of housekeepers is this : " Y oar 
Washer has proTeda complete success." Some of 
the reasons why this popular verdict has bten reached may 
be f otmd in these facts : 
The Robbine TVasher is an entirelv NTIW MACHDvE. It 
is constrncted upon a KEW PRINCIPLE— that of forcing 
water by downward pressure through the fabric. The dirt 
or discoloration ia removed bv water force — there Is no 
rubbing or friction about it. Tlils principle is the only one 
that has ever been successfully applied to the cleaning of 
fabrics by machinerv. All others have failed in one or more 
essential points. The Eobbins "Washer will cleanse per- 
fectly, without rubbiuq-, all kinds of wearing apparel, table 
or bed linen. It will not injure the most delicate fabric. It 
Is the greatest bleacher extant, and for this purpose alone 
Ip worth ten times the price of the machine. It is simple, 
^.^If-operating, never gets out of order, and will last a life- 
time. It saves time J It saves labor ; it saves material. 
By purchasing a KOBBIKS WASHER you can count the 
hard drudgery of the washboard among the things of the 
past. 
Therefore, we confldentlv snv to every housekeeper in 
the land. You want a EOlSBHsrs WASlfEK. You cannot 
afford to be without one. It will pav to buy one. 
THE RETAIL PRICE IS ONLY S3. 50. 
Sample to thrsc desiring agencies, ?3. 
In bringing the Robbins "Washer before the public it 
becomes necessary to take into brief consideration the 
ART "OF CLE^VNSING FABRICS, 
■which, although so common, is yet imperfecth understood. 
Having had a lifelong experience in the laundrr business— 
In connection with first-clas^ hotels, public laundries, 
asylums, hospitals, &c.— we know whereof we speak. The 
numerous devices of friction rollers, pounders, squeezers, 
dashers, agitators, Bteam wash boilers. &c., have all done 
very well, so far as it was possible for such principles and 
devices to do. But they have all failed in one or more of 
the three essential points, viz.: Ttie saving of labor, the 
wear and tear of clothes, or in perfectly extracting tht- dirt 
or discoloration— all of which are accomplished bv the 
ROBBINGS LITTLE "WASHER. 
WHAT IS IT THAT REMOVES THE DIRT? 
Tou may nsk all washerw<*men and housekeepers, and 
your answer from nine out of ten will be: "Plenty of elbow 
grease ;" or, In other words, plenty of hard, laborious rub- 
bing on the washboard. And such is the case, for you first 
have to rub soap upon the cloth, then you have to rub ii In 
to make the dirt soluble. But does tliat remove it ? No; 
to do that you must first din it In the water, and then rub it 
In again to force water through the fabric. That is what 
removes dirt after being softened by the chemical aclluu of 
the soap upon It. 
The way in which this could be the most cconnmirally 
accomplished is what we have so long and patiently soUKlit 
after, and at last a principle, has been developed in the 
LITTLE WASHER that embodlLS all the above-named 
points. 
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE LITTLE WASHER 
embodies all the essential points. First, we liavc the de- 
sired heat, wlilch expands the fabric and causes it (o dis- 
charge the dirt. Second, we obialn a powerful suction 
beneath the clothes, wlilch causes a rapid downward current 
of water force through and through them, thereby remov- 
ing the dirt. Third, we use a larg-- body of water, which 
holds the dirt in solution. Thus we cleanse thoroughly, 
rinsing the clothes as usual being all that Is required t-> com- 
plete the operation. 
The Washer Is composed of solid galvanized iron, which 
will not rust or corrode. There are two slzes-tlie No. 1, or 
family size, for ordinary household use ; and No. 2, or hotel 
size, 'suitable for country hotels, boa ruing-ho uses, laun- 
dries, &c. 
OUU JIETHOD OF HANTlLTNa. 
We want accuts everywhere throughout tlie United States. 
In every State, couutrv. town, and hamlet. Tlie retal price 
of No. 1 Washer Is f J.'5t' ; of No. 2 Washer, fTv But we sell 
sample machines of No. l size at $3 ; No. 'i, or small hotel 
size, at %A. Canvassers for this Washer can make more 
money with It than with anyihlngevcr before offered to the 
public. As, for instance, wc csiabllahcd two agencies to 
test the sale of the Washer upon its merits— one in Nauga- 
tuck. Conn., and imc In Provldenee. R. 1. The former. Mr. 
Cliarles Daniels, in a town of about 2.iW Inhnbitauts, sold 
by canvassing In two weekti sa Washers. In the laiter | Inco 
Mr .lames Roberts, now of Naug-.Uuck. Conn., sold In less 
than three months, without canvassing or adv< rtl.'iiiig out- 
side the store, over 500 Washers. A thing never before 
TO PERSONS OFT OF EMPLOYMENT 
we would say. if you wan' to secure a ^aylnp business, now 
U your time! Pon'I wall till the t»es( territory Is taken up. 
but send at once for sample machine auti j;o to work. By 
following tnstructl'ii'svou can sell to nearly every family

reason why vou should not. Full dlrectioue and Instruc- 
tions ncconipanv each machine. Also, special terms to 
agents, elrcniars", testimonials. Ac. 
We also sell In connect Ion with otir Washer the" Reliance"
