Seeing is believing, and if you will try it once, you will never again wash without it, nor use any other washing machine. 
IT IS TEE BEST IN TEE WORLD, and will wash anything from a lace curtain to a horse blanket, and cannot get out of order.

INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE. 
“A Splendid Washing Machine.” 
This is what they call the Robbins Family Washer at the 
home of the business manager of “ Farm and Fireside.” 
Heretofore it required one woman a whole day from early 
morn till late at night, to finish the washing, and an extra 
girl to cook. But since we got a Robbins Washer one girl 
attends to the washing, cooks dinner at the same time, and 
has all the clothing hung out to dry, and tubs, wringer, and 
everything put away before 12 o’clock noon. We wish we 
could tell our subscribers how delighted they are at our 
house with this simple washer, and also get them to under¬ 
stand that we write this simply and entirely for their bene¬ 
fit, and not at the solicitation of the manufacturers, nor 
with their knowledge or consent; hut we write this to let 
our readers know that the Robbins Washer lias actually 
proven to he an article that does all the manufacturers 
claim for it, and really does away with a great part of the 
drudgery required in washing clothes. We would pay many 
times the price asked rather than do without one. We 
have also noticed that it requires less soap than formerly, 
so that the saving in the soap will in a short time pay for the 
machine.—Springfield, O., Farm and Fireside, Oct, 1. 
Publisher of Farmers’ Review, Chicago, 111., received a 
sample, and after giving it a trial, sends for $21 worth for 
his friends and neighbors. 
The publishers of the NewTork Christian Advocate, after 
receiving sample washer, say: “ It requires to be honestly 
tried a few times only to convince the housekeeper that she 
has found a friend and economizer of labor in the Washer. 
We have confidence in commending it to the attention of 
our lady readers.” 
The N. T. Witness says: “ Several of our staff have the 
machines in use, and are well satisfied with them.” 
N. Y. Weekly Sun says: “The Robbins Washer and 
Bleacher is as represented.” 
The Toledo Blade says: “ We believe it to he one of the 
greatest inventions of the age.” 
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “ The company could not 
well say less of that truly wonderful article, which is des¬ 
tined at no distant day to work a complete revolution in 
the method of accomplishing the family washing. We speak 
from our own knowledge, as well as from the testimony of 
thousands who have already availed themselves of its 
services.” 
E. B. Mack, N. Y. office of the Cincinnati Gazette says : 
“ I have one in use in my house and it does admirable work." 
D. F. Raymond, Cincinnati, O.—“ Can I have Cincinnati 
and Hamilton County, Newport and Covington, Ky., by 
ordering $100 of Washers at once ? Have waited to see what 
Washer would do ; am delighted; does all you claim.” 
Again, December 9: “ Inclosed please find draft for $100 
on Met. National Bank. Please hurry along the Washers." 
C. H. Mather, Burlington, N. Y.—After purchasing sample 
and “ convincing the sceptical ones,” orders $24, $75, $50, $24, 
$65, $24 worth in rapid succession. 
W.P. Pratt, Frankfort, Me.—“ I want the agency for your 
Washer and Bleacher. We have had one in our family for 
three years, and we think it an Indispensable article. Sev¬ 
eral of our neighbors, I think, will buy.” 
J. H. Hill, of Campti, La., Jan. 23,18!$0, writes : “ My wife 
would not take fifty dollars for ours.” 
WE COULD FILL THE COLUMNS OF THIS PAPER 
WITH SUCH EVIDENCE. WILL PEOPLE BUY A HUM¬ 
BUG THE SECOND TIME ? 
ES^-See October number of Agriculturist, page 374, article 
on “ Washing Machines and Washers.” 
The above is no boastful offer, made only for the sake of 
selling our Washer, but, on the contrary, we mean exactly 
what we say, and will really give $1,000 for any washing 
machine that can be proven better than ours before a com- 
etent committee. Any reader who doubts our ability to 
o all we agree, can easily be convinced by referring to the 
Mercantile National Bank of this city, to any express com¬ 
pany in New York, or to the publishers of this paper.
