THE ROBBINS 
Family Washer 
AND BLEACHER. 
A CARD. 
We, the undersigned, respectfully announce to our former 
Agents and patrons that we have SOLD OUT our business, 
and that hereafter it will be carried on by the BISSELL 
M’F G CO., at 41 Murray St., New York, to whom they must 
apply for a continuation of their agency. 
We also take pleasure in recommending the BISSELL 
M’F’G CO. to the favorable Notice of all our former patrons. 
Respectfully, 
’§THE GEO. D. BISSELL CO. 
Naugatuck, Conn., Oct. 12,1878. 
SPECIAL NOTICE. 
We respectfully Inform the public that we have purchased 
the business of the GEORGE D. BISSELL COMPANY, and 
have transferred it from Naugatuck, Conn., to this City. 
We have also changed the name from “The George D. 
Bissell Company ” to the BISSELL M’F’G CO., with Office 
and Warerooms at 42 MURRAY ST., NEW YORK, where 
all orders will be received. 
We also take great pleasure in announcing that we now 
have a new and greatly improved pattern, with perfectly 
fitting pipes, thereby invariably obtaining the full power of 
the Washer. 
As the result of much experimenting, we have succeeded 
in discovering a combination of metals of which the washer 
is now made, and which adds greatly to its value, and pre¬ 
vents absolutely the sticking of all resinous or other matter 
upon the Washer, heretofore so difficult to cleanse after 
using. The Wa9her now comes out of the boiler as clean as 
when put in. 
Another important change is in the name—from that of 
“The Little Washer’ to the FAMILY WASHER AND 
BLEACHER, which it absolutely is. 
Respectfully, 
BISSELL M’F’G CO. 
THE WASHER 
Is in use in thousands of families in the United States, South 
America, Canada, Europe, and Australia. A test of it will 
establish its merit in any household. It will accomplish 
what no other washer has ever done. It cleanses thorough¬ 
ly and bleaches perfectly, without rubbing or injuring the 
most delicate fabrics, even to lace curtains. 
A circular, containing a full description of the Washer, 
the principle upon which it works, &c., &c„ also extracts 
from letters and letters in full from those who are now 
using it, showing conclusively that the Washer is all that is 
claimed for it, will be sent to any address. 
We want an Agent in every town In the United 
States. RELIABLE. ENERGETIC MEN can 
make a business which will pay them well. In 
writing, please mention the American Agriculturist.

BISSELL M’F’G CO.,
