SILVERS' CELEBRATED 
PATENT EXCELSIOR BROOM, 
WHICH HAS TAKES' THE FIRST PREMIUMS AT THE 
NEW YORK, OHIO AND KENTUCKY STATE FAIRS, 
is unequaled for durability, lightness, eleuanee, and elastici- 
ty, una universally acknowledged the most beautiful Broom 
iu the world. It is the only one accepted for 
THE PARIS EXPOSITION. 
The ladies pronounce It THE MOST VALUABLE IN USE, 
when applied to Tapestry. Wilton, Brussels or Ingrain Car- 
pets. Housekeepers proclaim that it sweeps with half the 
effort, and does not wear out the carpet one-fourth as fast ns 
the old-fashioned broom, therefore, MONEY and TIME are 
saved by its USE. 
In the short period this broom has been before the public, 
it bas received the highest commendations from people of 
all classes, and there* is now no reason to doubt that in a 
short time it will entirely supersede the old-fashioned tied- 
broom as a household implement. 
We present the following testimonials as evidence of the 
value of this invention: 
[From the Hon. Horace Greeley.] 
Office of The Tribune, New Yonk, May 3, 1SGT. 
Messrs. C. A. Clegg & Co.: Your broom is a good imple- 
ment, and will, to a very large class, be acceptable and use- 
ful. To be able to renew a broom in ten minutes and at a 
few cents cost, will be to many at once convenient and econ- 
omical. I PREDICT YOUR SUCCESS. YOUrS, 
HORACE GREELEY. 
{From the American Agriculturist, after 3 Months 1 Test.'] 
Silvers' Patent Beoosl— This is a novelty, certainly. 
By means of a cap and ccrew, the brush can be removed at 
anytime. We have no broom corn at baud to test the re- 
moval of the old brush and the putting in of new', bat we 
do not see why it can not be readily done bv any one, and 
farmers thus raise a little plot of broom corn and make their 
own brooms, after buying a patent handle. TJic one wo 
are using lias a, superior elasticity. 
{From the New York Weekly Tribune, of May Sth, 186".] 
Patent Brooms.— "Within a few years several patents have 
been issued for improved brooms. The end aimed at by all 
has been to make a broom which could be renewed at small 
cost by inserting a new brush. To combine this quality with 
elasticity, lightness, durability, and beauty, was difficult and 
seemingly impossible. An Ohio inventor conceived a plan 
which, it was thought, would answer, but a brass cap such 
as bis broom required was declared impossible to make. 
One thought differently. A skillful worker in brass was 
employed, who after eight months' study and labor produced 
the can now used on Silvers* Patent Broom. With the im- 
proved cap we shall not be surprised if this broom becomes 
popular among housekeepers hi city and country.
