MRS. OLD FOGY DOES

MBS. COMMON SENSE

TO MAKE MONEY 
SECfJKE AN AGEJVCY 
FOR THE 
This machine has heen ON TRIAL for the past bIx 
months in every State and Territory In the Union, and the 
almost unanimous verdict of housekeepers Is this: '* Vour 
Washer has proved a conipletc success.** Some of 
the reasons why this popular yerdict has been reached may 
be found in thepe facts : 
The Robblna Washer is an entirely NEW MACHINE. It 
is constructed upon a NEW PRINCIPLE— that of forcing 
water by downward pressure through the fabric. The dirt 
or discoloration is removed by water force — there is no 
rubbing or friction about it. This principle is the only one 
that has ever, been successfully flppiied to tlje cleaning of 
fabrics by machinery. All others have failed in one or more 
essential points. The Robbins Washer-will cleanse per- 
fectly, without rubbing, 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 
ia worth ten times the price of the machine. It is simple, 
seif-operating, never gets out of order, and will last a life- 
time. It saves time : It saves labor ; it saves material. 
By purchasing a BOBBINS WASHER you can count the 
hard drudgery of the washboard among the things of the 
past. 
Therefore, we confidently say to everv housekeeper in 
the land. You want a BOBBINS WASHER. Ton cannot 
afford to be without one. It will pav to buy one. 
THE RETAIL PRICE IS ONLY $3.50. 
Sample to those desiring agencies,^. 
In bringing the Robbins Washer before the public It 
becomes necessary to take into brief consideration the 
ART OF- CLEANSING FABRICS, - ' 
which, although so common, is yet Imperfectly understood. 
Having had a lifelong experience, in the laundry buslneas-r- 
In connection with flrst-class hotels, public laundries, 
asylums, hospitals, &c.— we know whereof we speak. The 
numerous devices of friction roUerB, pounders, squeezers, 
dashers, agitators, steam 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.: Tlie saving of labor, the 
wear and tear of clothes, or in perfectly extracting the dirt 
or discoloration— all of which are accomplished by the 
ROBBINS LITTLE WASHER. 
WHAT IS IT THAT REMOVES THE DIET? 
You may ask all washerwomen 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 it in 
to make the dirt soluble. But does that remove it ? "No*; 
to do that y.ou must first dip it in the water, and then rub it 
in again to force Water through the fabric. That is i^at 
removes dirt after being softened by the chemical action of 
the soap upon it. 
The way in which this could' be the most economically 
accomplished is what we have so long and patiently sought 
after, and at iMir a principle hns been developed in the 
LITTLE WASHER that embodies all the above-named 
points. ■• 
THE PRINCIPLE OJ THE LITTLE WASHER 
embodies all the .essential points. First, we have the de'- 
sired heat, which expands the fabric' and causes it to dis- 
charge the dirt.' Second, we obtain a powerful suction 
beneath the clothes, which causes a rapid downward current 
of water force through and through them, thereby remov- 
ing the dirt. Third, .we use a. large body of water, which 
holds the dirt in solutioh. Thus we cleanse thoroughly, 
rinsing the clothes as usual" being all that is required to com- 
plete the operation. 
The Washer is composed of solid galvanized iron, which 
will not rust or corrode. There are twp sizes— the No. 1, or 
family size, for ordinary household use ; and No. 2, or hotel 
size, suitable for country hotels, boarding-houses, laun- 
dries, &C. V- - . 
OUR METHOD OF HANDLING. 
We want agents everywhere throughout the United States, 
in every State, country, town, and hamlet. The retail price 
of No. 1 Washer is $3,5U ; of No. 2 Washer, $5. But we sell 
sample machines of No. 1 size at $3 ; No. 2, or small hotel 
size at %A. Canvassers for this Washer can make more 
money with it than with anything ever before offered to the 
public As, for instance, we established two agencieB to 
tebt the Bale of the Washer upon its merits— one m Nauga- 
tuck. Conn., and one in Providence, R. I. The former, Mr. 
Charles Daniels, In a town of about 2,000 inhabitants, sold 
by canvasBinK in two weeks 82 WasherB. In the latter place 
Mr James Roberts, now of Naugatuck, Conn., sold in less 
than three months, without canvassing or advertising out- 
side the store, over 500 Washers. A thing never before 
heard of. 
TO PERSONS OUT OF EMPLOYMENT 
we would say, if vou wanr to secure a paying busInesB, now 
is your time. Don't wait till the best territory Is taken up, 
but send at once for sample machine and go to work. By 
following instructions you can sell to nearly every famUy 
in your neighborhood. Others have done it, and there i.s no 
reason why you should not. Full directions and mstrnc- 
tions accompany each machine. Also, special terms to 
agents, circulars, testimonials, &c. 
We also sell in connection with our Washer the *' Reliance 
Wringer, one of the very best make. The retail price is 
$7.50. Will send sample for $7, or sample Wringer and 
Washer together for $9.50 ^ , , ^ 
All orders must be accompanied with cash.
