DESCRIPTION. 
A single brush or stalk is represented bvA; B represents 
two brushes with their stems bent mid passed through the 
malleable iron loop C: these brushes are arranged alter- 
nately until the loop is llllcd, as represented bv I) ; the seam- 
less metallic head F, made of polished sheet braes or German 
silver, is then passed over the filled loop, after which it is 
firmly screwed inio the ferruled handle, find tlms held in a 
compact form as represented by the cut. 
Thiscelebrated broom has now been before the public lor 
one year, and has proved itself to be as represented — the 
cheapest, simplest, most beautiful, durable and elastic in 
the United States. It has been awarded the first premium 
wherever exhibited, ihc.lut.ing the New York, Ohio, ami 
Kentucky Stare Fairs of 1806, and is highly recommended bv 
the leading .journals, and scientific men of the countrv, as 
the following unsolicited notices of the press and testimo- 
nials will show. 
[From the Scientific American.] 
Silvers' method op ooiiSTKUCTOTG a broom makes a 
much better article than toe old-fasmoned one, for 
the shank ts stiff a3td held fast, tiics obtatsxs'g a 
spklntt or elasticity which is valued bt housekeep- 
ERS. 
[From the American Agriculturist, after 3 Month's Test] 
Silvers' Patent Broom.— This is a noveltv, certainly 
By means of a cap and screw, the brush can be removed at 
anytime. "We have no broom corn at hand to test the re 
moval of the old brush and the putting in of new, but wo d • 
not see why it can not be readily done by anyone, and fan 
ers thus raise a little plot of broom corn and maket'm ir 
own brooms, after buying a patent handle. The one we arc 
using has a superior elasticity. 
[From the Boston Cultivator.] 
Everybody who sees it says it is perfection, and that it will 
soon supersede all others. Let every fanner plant asm:.'! 
piece ot broom corn, grow the brush and make his o . 
brooms hereafter, as all can do. 
[From aKeport of the American Institute "Farmers' Clan," 
in the New York "Weekly Tribune.] 
Silvers' Patent Broom was exhibited. An iron screw-bolt, 
some six inches long, has an open head. The stalks of the 
brush are scarfed oil" and put in thiB loop, alternately from 
each side, until there is enough for a broom. Then a metal- 
lic cap is slipped down over the brush, to hold it in prop - 
shape and keep it firm In the loop. The handle is then 
screwed on, and the broom is finished. When the broom i* 
worn out, unscrew, shake out the old brush and insert new. 
A child ten year* old can make a rieic broom in ten minutes. 
These new contrivances will tempt farmers to grow their 
own broom corn.

Mr. Silvers : The beauty and practical utility of your 
"Excelsior Broom Head" are too self-evident toreqnlro 
commendation. I cordially indorse all von claim for it. 
Hub, DEMOREST. 
[From Prof. O. S. Fowler, the Celebrated Phrenologist.] 
Dear Sirs: In my judgment your broom embodies the 
very best sweeping instrument extant. Yon will savo dol- 
lars to every cleanly family, and thousands per annum to 
our country by its introduction— In doing which yon are 
public benefactors. 
[From E. P. Coolcv, the Noted Corn Broom and Brush 
Manufacturer SW Pearl Street, New York.] 
Silvers' Is the onlv Patent Broom I have overseen that U 
of any account. This patent, for simplicity, durability, 
beauty, elasticity and cheapness, seems perfection itself. 
[From Miles Greenwood & Co., Cincinnati.] 
Having examined Silvers' Patonl Excelsior [boom Head. 
wo have no hesitation in recommending it ns being one of 
the most perfect we have seen. 
The Elasticity of this Broom Is B0 ftroal that it will wear 
twice as long, Bwcop with half the effort, and dobs not 
WBAB OUT THE OABPBT OUO lourlh as fast as UlO ordiliarv 
broom. It is tost becoming a nut versa] favorlto, avi> is thk 
ONl.v PATENT BROOU EQUALLY ADAPTED TO CITY AND 
COUXTttT", as tho filled loops I> will soon bo supplied by 
all dealers at two-thirds tho cost of the common broom. 
TO AGENTS.— Wo want an Agent in cverv Counlv in the 
United Stales. We charge nothing for the right to sell, but 
let It stand on its own merits. AH ot our Agents are doll 
well. Mr. Geo. A. Wetherell sold 1100 In Athens Co., Oil . 
and expects to sell as manvmore in Morgan Co. William 
Marvin made $21 in tho nrst day's canvass in Ulster Co., >! 
Y. A. Goodale, Agent for Orange <'^.. N. Y.. writes that ho 
expects it will supersede all others in his County. as tho 
ladies say they will use no other when the "SILVERS is 
to bo procured.
