Direct Draft Eureka Mower. 
PROCLAMATION. 
We proclaim for the information of lmy-producers that 
the Direct Draft Eureka Mower cam not be equaled 
by any side-cut Mower on the following important points: 
1st. Time of cutting. 2d. Power expended 3d. Quality 
of work, which is the'eondition of the stubble, and the way 
the grass is left for curing. 4th. Time of curing the grass- 
no tedder to be used. f>lh. Quality ot hay. Gth. Economy of 
cost in gathering a hay crop. 7th. Durability of Machine. 
It is highly important to all hay-producers who are unac¬ 
quainted with the Eureka that t ns fact— the very great 
SUPERIORITY OF DIRECT DRAFT OVER SlDE-OUT—Should 
be settled in their minds lira thorough and exhaustive com¬ 
parative test trial before competent judges. 
Therefore, We, Tlic Wilber's Eureka Mower and Reaper 
Manufacturing Company, will present any Manufacturer 
$1,000 who will meet lis in a trial during the harvest ot 
1873. and succeed in equaling the Eureka Mower on the 
above-named points by using a Side-Cut Mower.

READ THIS O I R. C U L. A. K, . 
I respectfully ask all to read tli is circular carefully, and candidly consider wliat 1 propose as a matter of business. 
Before making known my terms, permit me to state that the matter of washing clothes is one of no small consideration : it 
is something which concerns every family and every individual. It is but recent since Hand Washing was in common 
use. Latterly, however, the inventive genius of the country has been directed to the invention of various devices by 
which much of the labor, drudgery, loss of time, and wear of material might he obviated. Ponderous as well as intricate 
Washing Machines have been constructed—many of which are decided improvements over the old method of washing- 
ami these machines have been very salable. People will continue to have Washing Machines; but let me ask you if the 
STEAM WASHER can he constructed for a few dollars (much less than any ordinary Washing Machine), and enat le all to 
wash by steam without labor, loss of time,without wearing of clothing, etc., is it not reasonable to suppose that It will su¬ 
persede, in a great measure, all the Washing Machines now in common use ? The sale of the Washer is unparalleled, and must 
be so. There is nothing like it in use. it is new, and every family needs it, and will buy it. I wish to secure a few good men 
to sell rights for me, and in order to secure as many as I need immediately, I offer extra inducements. My price for terri¬ 
tory is $9 per 1,000 inhabitants; but if you will buy a single county, and agree to sell rights for me, I will allow you to de¬ 
duct 66% per cent as your commission; consequently your county would cost you but $75 instead of $2)5, should it contain 
hut 25,030 inhabitants, more or less in the same proportion. And to those buying rights I will sell Washers at nearly cost: 
and to those not buying rights, I will furnishWasliers at $60 per dozen ; and bear in mind, I will sell to no one, except a single 
dozen, until he first buys the right to a county. Any tinner can make the Washer as well as they are made here, and save 
the cost of transportation Remember that by purchasing the right of a single county, yon shall have the privilege of 
selling any county or State for me ; and upon application I will forward the deed to you by express for any territory which 
you have sold for me, provided that said territory is not already disposed of when I receive your order. I make all the 
deeds, so there can be no mistakes. The amount you will have to pay me is simply $3 per 1,000 inhabitants, in any county 
or State. I shall make these very liberal offers to a limited number, and for a short time only; after which I shall sell at 
my regular price—$9 per 1,000. 
Many of my patrons have requested me to suggest the best method of selling the Steam Washer, in order to make 
the most money in the shortest time. In reply, I would say there are many methods which might be suggested, all of which 
seem to work well, hut the most prominent of which l will suggest: In the first place, send for a sample and carefully test 
it. You will learn by a single trial how to wasli with it successfully. All you have to do now is to exhibit it to others. I 
will suggest that you make an engagement to wash at a certain place, at an appointed hour: manage to have as many 
present as possible. You will be astonished at the Intense excitement it will produce after the water and steam have 
rushed through the tubes and foamed over the clothing, rushing back through the clothing to the lower bottom to he sud¬ 
denly returned again in the same manner—say for thirty minutes—you take out the clothing, rinse, and wring out, and find 
the clothing perfectly clean. You will find all perfectly delighted with it. 
You can take orders from nine in ten present, to be filled afterwards, at $10 each. A single trial in this manner will 
satisfy you that the Steam Washer is a success and will sell. You should lose no time in ordering a deed for yonr 
county, to he sent by express, C. O. D., if not convenient to advance the money. You should continue to take orders, and 
by the time your deed would come to hand you might have a gross sold. You should arrange with a tinner to make the 
Washers— the price will vary according to style and finish. 1 have known some agents to sell ns many as twenty Washers 
in a day. After you have introduced it more or less in your county, you can take another county, and rest assured that 
whenever you get a single Washer into a neighborhood it will sell many more. Consequently, after you nave sold a few 
hundred in a county, you can sell the right of your county for much more than at the start. You can calculate what your 
gains will be by buying a single county, but this is not a tenth part what you ought to make, for while you are traveling 
you will meet with many men who want to make money to whom you can sell rights. There is no business you can engage 
in which offers sucheplendid inducements, besides it is a safe business, no less, and pleasant because it renders perfect 
satisfaction. I can not see how I can propose better terms. Should I allow my patrons to make their own terms, I scarcely 
believe they could make better terms ior themselves, and make more money. 
On the receipt of Five Dollars 1 will ship you a complete Washer, as a sample, together with a Certificate of 
Agencj'. witli full instructions how to conduct the business. And upon the receipt of the Washer you may have time to test 
it, aiul if you find it not as represented I will refund your money. The Washers retail at $10. After I send you a sample, 
I will hold your county a reasonable time for you to decide whether yon wish to purchase or not. I will furnish blank 
deeds, and will do all I can to enable you to succeed m the business. Let me hear from you soon, or your choice of terri¬ 
tory may be taken by some one else.
