dorsement : “ We have specially tested 
-it in t-liis office for several weeks. It 
was received at first with great doubt, 
not thinking it possible that so cheap 
an article could be worth mucii. To our surprise it has 
proved as accurate as the best $300 watches, runs with the 
very best regularity, obeys the regulator immediately, and 
appears perfectly' sensitive to its slightest change. It will 
run one to two days without re winding, is very neat and 
pretty, and thus far has answered every purpose claimed for 
It, and been fully as accurate and reliable as any clock of 
twenty times Us worth. We think it well worth the money.”

THE ROBBINS WASHER. 
Patented by Henry R. Robbins, of Baltimore, fUid. 
Manufactured and Sold by GEO. D. BISSELL & CO., Naugatuck, Ct. 
Every housekeeper is willing to admit that a really good washing machine would prove a priceless boon to all the 
households in the land: since it would save not only time and labor, but wear and tear of material; and would also pre¬ 
vent much of the annoyance and discomfort incident to “ washing day.” 
The proprietors of the Robbins Washer claim lhat they are sending out a machine that will perfectly cleanse without 
injury the most delicate fabric. It is constructed upon an entirely new principle—that of forcing water by downward 
pressure through the clotlies—thus softening and removing the dirt by one operation. By its use all rubbing or friction is 
avoided; this alone will effect a saving of many times its cost, to an ordinary family, in the course of a year. It can he 
used with any common wash-boiler; no wash-board needed; requires only from fifteen to twenty-five minutes to wash a 
boiler full of clothes—and leaves them, after rinsing, clean and, sweet and free from streaks or stains. It is cheap, simple, 
easy to operate, never gets out of order, and will last a life-time. The Philosophy of the whole tiling is fully explained iu 
our Treatise on the’Art op Cleansing Fabrics, which we send free to any address upon application by letter or 
postal card. Every housekeeper should send for one. 
Retail price of the machine—No. 1, family washer, $3.50; No. 2, small hotel size, $5.00; No. 3, steam washer, for Hotels, 
Hospitals, and Laundries, $25.00.—Sample machines of No. 1 and No. 2 washers sent to those desiring agencies @ $3.00 and 
$4.00 respectively. ' 
We want immediately active, energetic business men to act as General Agents to introduce the Robbins Washer 
into every town iu the United States. To the right sort of men liberal terms will lse given.—Canvassers can make more 
money at selling the washer than at any other business. Send for circulars , giving full description, terms to agents, &c., 
&c. All orders must be accompanied with cash. Remit by check, registered letter, or money order to Geo. D. Bissell & 
Co., Naugatuck, Ct.

Messrs. GEO. D. BISSELL & CO.: Gentlemen:— The Washer Received. Like it very much. We will order two or 
three dozen in a few days. Save us as large a territory as possible. Would like the State of Iowa if it would not he asking 
too much. Yours truly, CALEB BATES. 
Centreton, New Jersey, Oct. 4th, 1875. 
Messrs. G. D. BISSELL & CO :—The Washer came all right, Sept. 29th. My wife lias washed with it twice, and she is 
perfectly delighted with it. It takes out the dirt complete. Among over three thousand different patents on Washers, I 
am fully convinced that this excels all, in the perfection oi its work, in the quickness of doing it, in cheapness, and in the 
durability of its construction. I am an ordained minister of the M. E. Church, although not at work in the active ministry.

labor-saving auxiliary in the washing department of our household, we have ever used or seen. It fully realizes all you guar¬

Messrs. GEO. D. BISSELL & CO.: Gents: —I am confident that if you would send your circulars, etc., giving full par¬ 
ticulars, to the address of A. P. Flower, Esq., Spring Valley, Minnesota, you would secure a great market for your unrivaled 
machines. As Mr. F. (my cousin) is in the hardware business, (firm of Alley & Flower), he could sell a great many. I feel 
interested in spreading your little Washer in every section of the country. My wife would not- part with the one we hnvo 
for $500, if she could not procure another. It is certainly the only washer in existence that is of any account. 
I am, Yours very truly, F. FLOWER.
