INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION 
For Agricultural 
Machines & Implements, 
HAMBURG, 1878. 
From the 13th to the 17th of June, 1878, under cooperation 
of the Section for Agriculture aiul Horticulture, at Hamburg, 
and the Union of German Manufacturers and Dealers in Agri¬ 
cultural Machinery, ,an ’.International Exhibition of all 
kinds of Agricultural and Garden Implements, will be held 
in Hamburg, Germany,. It is well known that the endeavor 
of the above named Union has been to liberate manufac¬ 
turers from the necessity of sending their goods to all Ag¬ 
ricultural Exhibitions, whether large or small, enabling 
them thus to sell their manufactures at lower rates to the 
farmers. This result is intended to be obtained by limiting 
the number of exhibitions to the commercial centers of the 
German Empire, to be periodically repeated. For Northern 
Germany, Hamburg appears to be the most favorable place, 
where the various railroads, etc., connect with the seaport, 
and this leads to the hope that foreign nations will be repre¬ 
sented there, so’ that the farmers and peasantry who will 
visit tlfe‘exhibition may have the opportunity of witnessing 
a complete collection of all kinds of tools for husbandry, 
and systems in alf parts <Tf the world. 
Plaits and directions for sending to the.se International 
Machinery Markets, will be sent, free of charge, from the of¬ 
fice of the undermentioned committee, 25 A 13 C strasse,

ROBBINS WASHER. j TAKE YOUR CHOICE. 
TO MAKE MONEY 
SECURE A A AGENCY 
FOR THE 
CELEBRiATED 
ROBBINS FAMILY WISHER. 
This machine has been ON TRIAL for the past six 
months in every State and Territory in the Union, and the 
almost unanimous verdict of housekeepers is this : “ Your > 
YVaslier lias proved a complete success.” Some of 
the reasons why this popular verdict has been reached may 
be found in these facts: 
The Robbins. 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 j 
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 applied to the 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 
is worth ten times-the price of the machine. It is simple, 
self-operating, never gets out of order, and will last a life* 
time. It saves time; it saves labor ; it saves material. 
By purchasing a ROBBINS 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 laud. You want a ROBBINS WASHER. You cannot 
afford to be without one. It will pay to buy one. 
THE RETAIL PRICE IS ONLY $3.50. 
Sample to those desiring agencies, $3. 7 
In bringing the Robbins Washer before the public It 
become^ necessary .to take into brief consideration the 
ART Ok CLEANSING FABRICS, 
which, illtho'ugh so Common, is yet imperfectly understood. 
Having had a lifelong experience in the laundrv business— 
in connection with first-class hotels, public" laundries, 
asylums, hospitals, &c.—we know whereof we speak. Tin 
numerous devices of friction rollers, 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.: The 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 DIRT? 
You may ask all washerwomen and housekeepers, and 
your answer from nine out of ten will be: “ Plenty of elbow I 
g rease-;” or, in other words, plenty of hard, laborious rub- 
ing 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 you must first dip 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 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 last a principle has been demonstrated that 
in uniting all the above named, in 
THE PRINCIPLE OF THE LITTLE WASHER 
is embodied all the essential points. First, we havethqde- 
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 solution. 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 two 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, j&c. 
OUR METHOD OF HANDLING. 
We want agents everywhere throughout the United States, 
in every State, county", town, and hamlet. The retail price - 
of No. i Washer is $3.50; of No. 2 Washer, $5. But we sell 
sarfiple machines of No. 1 size at $3 ; No. 2, or small hotel 
size, at $4. 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 agencies to 
test the sale of t lie Washer upon its merits—one in Nauga¬ 
tuck. Conn., and one in Providence, R. I. The former, Mr. 
Charles Daniels, in a town of about 2,000 inhabitants, sold 
by canvassing in two weeks eighty-two Washers. In the lat¬ 
ter place Mr. James Roberts, now of Naugatuck, Conn, 
sold in less than three months, without canvassing or ad¬ 
vertising outside the store, over 500 Washers. A thing 
never before heard of. 
TO PERSONS OUT OF EMPLOYMENT 
we would say, if you want to secure a paying business, noW 
is your time. Don't wait till the best territory is taken up, 
hut. send at once for sample machine and go to work. By 
following instructions you can sell to nearly every family 
in your neighborhood. Others have done it, and there is no 
reason why you should not. Full directions and instrut 1 
tions accompany cacli machine. Also, special terms to . 
agents, circulars, testimonials, &c, 
All orders must be accompanied with cash.
