The Reason Why 
The Robbins Washer and Bleacher is 
the best device ever Invented for wash¬ 
ing clothing is, 
1st, it does away with all labor, so 
that a mere child can do an ordinary 
washing. 
2d, it will do the work better, quick¬ 
er, and cleaner than it can be done in 
any other way; 
3d, it will not wearor injure the most 
delicate fabric; good soap and soft wa¬ 
ter only being used. 
4th, It is perfectly simple in its prin¬ 
ciple, and cannot wear out or get out of 
order and, 
5th, It has been successfully used dur¬ 
ing the past six years by thousands of 
families in all parts of the United States. 
These are surely common sense reasons, and no house¬ 
keeper in the land can afford to he without one of these 
wonderful machines. They are truly Worth their 
Weight in Gold —as the evidence of tlie tens of 
thousands now using them fully attest. The strongest 
evidence we can offer to the readers of the Agriculturist 
that all our claims are strictly honest and true, is the fact 
that tlie publishers have from time to time given us very 
flattering notices, and they are not the men to puff or 
recommend anything unless they know fully whereol 
they speak. 
If yon have any spare time during these winter months, 
you can not doa better thing than send for a sample, give 
it a trial, and then act as agent for us. As we allow a 
liberal commission to agents, you can turn your time to 
very profitable account by working for us. 
We send the Washer by express—all charges paid—to 
your nearest railway express office, in any part ol the 
United States east of the Mississippi and Missouri Riv¬ 
ers ; also in Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Louisiana, or 
Texas, on receipt of $3.50 in Registered Letter. P. O.
