BEAD THIS CIRCULAR, 
I respectfully ask all to read this circular carefully, and candidly consider what 1 propose as a matter of business. 
Before making known my terms, permit mo to state that the mater of washing clothes is one of no small consideration -. it 
is something which concerns every famih and every individual. It is but recent since Hand Washing was in common 
use. Latterly, however, the inventive genius of the country has been directed to the invention of various devices by 
which much of the labor, drudgery, loss of time, and wear of material might be obviated. Ponderous as well as intricate 
Washing Machines have been constructed— in auy of which arc decided improvements ovei the old method of washing— 
ami these machines have been very salable. People will continue to have Washing Machines ; but let me ask you il the 
STEAM WASHEK can be constructed for n few dollars (much less than any ordinary Washing Machine), and en at le all to 
wash by stb \m without labor, loss of timo, without wearing of clothing, etc., is it not reasonable to suppose that it will su- 
persede, in agreat measure, all the Washing Machines now in common use? The sale of the Wasiiek is unparalleled, ami must 
be so. There is nothing like it in use. It is new, and every family needs it, and will buy it. I wish to secure a few good men 
to sell rights for me, and in order to secure as many as I ncead immediately, I offer extra inducements. My price (or terri- 
tory is $9 per 1,000 inhabitants; but if you will buy a single county, and agree to sell rights for mc, 1 will allow you to de- 
duct GG% per cent as your commission; consequently your county would cost you but $75 instead of (225, should it contain 
but 25,0 inhabitants more or less in the same proportion. And to those buying rights I will sell Washers at nearly cost ; 
and to those not buying rights, I will furnish Washers at $f>0 per dozen ; and bear in mind, I will sell to no one, except a single 
dozen, until he first buys the light to a county. Any tinner can make the Washer as well as they arc made here, and save 
the cost of transportation Remember that by purchasing the right of a single county, you shall have the privilege of 
selling any county or State for me ; and upon application I will forward the deed to you by express for any territory which 
you have sold for me, provided that said territory is not already disposed of when I receive yonr order. I make all the 
deeds, so there can be no mistakes. The amount you will have to pay me is simply $3 per 1,000 inhabitants, in any county 
or State. I shall make these very liberal offers to a limited number, and for a short time only; after which I shall sell at 
my regular price— $9 per 1,000. 
Many of my patrons have requested me to suggest the best method of selling the Steam Washer, In order to make 
the most money in the shortest time. In reply, I would say there are many methods which might be suggested, all of which 
seem to work well, but the most prominent of which I will suggest : In the first place, send for a sample and carefully test 
it. Ton will learn by a single trial how to wash with it successfully. All you have to do now is to exhibit it to others. I 
will Buggest that you make an engagement to wash at a certain place, at an appointed hour; manage to have as many 
present as possible. You will be astonished at the intense excitement it will produce after the water and steam have 
rushed through the tubes and foamed over the clothing, rushing back through the clothing to the lower bottom to be sud- 
denly returned again in the same manner— say for thirty minutes— you take out the clothing, rinse, and wring out, and find 
the clothing perfectly clean. You will find all perfectly delighted with it. 
Yon can take orders from nine in ten present, to be filled afterwards, at $10 each. A Bingle trial in this manner will 
satisfy you that the Steam Washer is a success and will sell. You should lose no time in ordering a deed for your 
county, to be sent by express, C. O. D., if not convenient to advance the money. You should couttftuc to take orders, and 
by the time your deed wonld come to hand you might have a gross sold. You should arranse with a Tinner to make the 
Washehs— the price will vary according to style and finish. I have known some agents to sell as many as twenty Washers 
in a day. After yon have introduced it more or less In your county, you can take another county, and rest assured that 
whenever you act a single Washer into a neighborhood it will sell mm y , lore. Consequently, after you nave sold a few 
hundred in a county, you can sell the right of your county for much more than at the start. You can calculate what your 
gains will be by buying a single county, but this Ib not a tenth part what yon onght to make, for while you are traveling 
you will meet with many men who want to make money to whom you can sell rights; There is no business you can engage 
In "Which offers such splendid inducements, besides it is a sale business, no loss, and pleasant because it renders perfect 
satisfaction. I can not see how I can propose better terms. Should I allow my patrons to make their own terms, I scarcely 
believe they could make better terms lor themselves, and make more money. 
On the receipt of Five Dollars I will ship you a complete Washer, as a sample, together with a Certificate oi 
Agency, with full instructions how to conduct the business. And upon the receipt of the" Washer, you may have time to test 
it, and if you find it not as represented 1 will refund your mom; . The Washers retail at $10. After I send you a sample, 
I will hold your county a reasonable lime for you to decide whether you wish to purchase or not. I will furnish blank 
deeds, and will do all I can to enable you to succeed m the business. Let me bear from you soon, or your choice of terri- 
tory may be taken by some one cl c e.
