THIS CFIKOMO IS ENTITLED 
“THE OLD AND TIE NEW," 
OR, 
Behind Time and Ahead of Time, 
A spirited Engraving, showing 
First —Wife washing the old way—husband 
returning at 3 o’clock P. M., dinner not ready— 
Behind Time. Not a pleasant scene. 
Second—A Scotch scene where two Scotch 
giris, dressed In plaid, are tramping the clothes 
in a tub, to their favorite way. This is an im¬ 
provement on the “ old way,*’ as it does not 
wear the clothes near so mud). 
Third— Shows the Steam Washer, the real 
Woman's Friend, In operation. Wife sits knit¬ 
ting in the rocking cl'mir, with pleasant chil¬ 
dren all around her, delighted to see the Steam 
Washer flow eight jets of foaming water. Just 
at this moment husband returns, and is like¬ 
wise astonished as well as delighted. The wash¬ 
ing is done—dinner is ready at 11 o’clock A. M. 
—Ahead of Time. 
THIS IS A 
Superb Engraving ! 
And will doubtless be much sought after. 
IS EQUAL TO ANY 
DIRECTIONS. 
1. Soak the clothes over night in warm suds—In the usual manner. Rinse, and put them 
through the wringer. 
"• I ut in the bottom of the WASHER a quarter bar of good soap, or enough to make 
good suds, sliced up thin, then fasten down the false bottom — see that the center valve is 
in the proper position; put in water euough to cover the cap over the valve, say about an 
inch; lay the clothes down smoothly, with the soiled parts well soaped, in the WASHER— 
not rolled up, but spread out so that the water can circulate freely — and carefully pack the 
clothes down; see that the lire is hot, sufficient to generate steam; when the water bolls 
it will begin to flow up tiie tubes on t^e outside, at the ends of the WASHER, and through 
the holes into the WASHER again; after a steady circulation has been going on in this 
manner for about thirty to forty minutes, the washing will be completed. Rinse well, and 
wring out —same as iu the usual way. Colored clothes must not be mixed with white —use 
soft water for boiling, always. If hard, use soda, lye, or make it soft iu any other way. 
If it is desired to bleach with the WASHER, this may be doue by adding a tablespoonful 
of borax of commerce to a WASHER full of clothing.

“ yv .° would not knowingly lend ourselves to 
practice on our renders a deception; but after 
having thoroughly tested Tilton's Steam 
washer, the wife says, ‘Too much cannot he 
said in its praise. I< not only requires a less 
quantity ol soap than the old method, but it is 
a wonderful saving of hard, slavish labor over 
the wawb-tub—the clothes, when coming out 
Of the boiler, with only i I file rinsing, thor¬ 
oughly washed and lit to hang on tin line.’ 
Sue further says, ‘1 would not dispose of mint) 
Tor five times its cost. If I could not procure 
another; or knowing its Merits an J do, were 
there no other way, I would deprive myself of 
some article of apparel, or the lumlly of some 
necessary to procure one.’ 
“Those statements "are matin after repeated 
trials of tint* of these Washers, and their truth¬ 
fulness may be relied on. 
“The principle on which the Steam Wasiier 
is gotten up will commend itself, as soon us 
understood, to every thinking mind. It Is so 
very simple that, the wonder is that it has not 
been discovered before, Wo rejoice for the 
relief which this invention will afford those 
who nave to perform that essential part of 
domestic labor—washing.”

Dear Sir:— Having used your Steam Washer for 
over four months, we are prepared to recommend it 
to the public as far the cheapest and easiest method 
of washing that we have ever met with. We have 
tested it thoroughly, washing very dirty clothing in 
it. and know it will do all that you claim for It.. We 
have never had to rub a single article ou the wash¬ 
board that has been washed In the Steam Washer 
since we have had it; hence,there Is a great expense 
saved In the wearing of cJothing. We could not do 
without it. Rev. J. JACKSON and WIFE.

READER, 
Please calculate the cost of my two-page ad¬ 
vertisement in the 
“Christian Union.” 
It consists of 1,400 lines. At regular rates 
amounted to 
$1,750 
EACH INSERTION! 
I repeated this “Card” Nov. 19th, because 
my advertisement (Oct. 8th) paid mo 
500 PER CENT. 
During the last eighteen months I have in¬ 
serted my advertisement, occupying one to two 
pages, in 
Hundreds of First-Class Papers, 
All of which paid well for the outlay; but the 
Christian Union (“the largest circulation of 
any religious paper in the world ’’) pays me bet¬ 
ter than any. i mention this fact, for all can 
see how extensive I advertise my invention; 
and taking into consideration the. fact that I 1 
sell it 
ENTIRELY ON ITS MERITS, I, 
All must concede that it sells well, for no arti- ( 
cle will sell well enough to pay for so expensive 
advertising * 
Without Real Merits. £ 
If I can get a sample introduced into a neigh¬ 
borhood, it often sells 
AN HUNDRED MORE. 
Such a splendid chance to make money sell¬ 
ing this invention may never occur again.

J. C. Tilton, Pittsburgh, Pa.— Dear Sir: I have 
just read a part of your six-column advertisement 
in the Chicago Standard. This led me to write this 
note. About three years ago, a brother in the min¬ 
istry made mo uequiUnted with your Steam Washer. 
I sent for one Immediately, and my wife has used it 
•-ver since—When her delicate health would permit. 
She has always esteemed it a "Friend,” and having 
washed to-day she esteems it as much a “ Friend ” 
as ever. Three years' service ourjht to be sufficient 
to establish its reputation in a family. It has doue 
so in my family. It has been loaned to neighbors 
and was always well liked. , 
My work us a minister gives me no time to engage 
In selling them—or any other secular business. But 
success to the “ Woman's Friend 
Truly yours, 
REV. J. IS. BITTINGER, 
lmlay City, Mieh. 
P- 8.—I wrote this simply in recommendation of 
the “ Steam Washer.” j. e. B. 
The above are a few extracts from letters received. 
I can publish hundreds of letters from parties who have used the STEAM WASHER, and 
speak in its praise. I have thus far declined doing so. I know full well how Certificates are 
looked upon. I have sold the STEAM WASHER upon its own merits. Thousands have used 
it, and it has given universal satisfaction throughout the country. T ask none to rely on 
what I say, or the commentaries of others, but let the WASHER stand on its merits. I 
would not ask or advise any one to engage in the business of selling Washers or rights, 
unless lie has thoroughly tested its work; and to enable all to do so, I send a sample Washer, 
upen the receipt of $5 (half the retail price), and guarantee that if found not as represented 
I will refund the money. So there is little risk to begin with. I shall advertise it liberally 
hereafter. I refer you to the American Agriculturist, May, 1873, aud the New York Weekly 
Tribune. I shall continue to advertise liberally in other first-class agricultural papers, as well 
as the leading religious papers throughout the country. I also refer you to my two-page 
advertisement in the Christian Union, October 28tli, 1873, costing nearly #2,000 each insertion. 
Of course my former patrons who have bought territory—as well as those who may here¬ 
after engage in the business —will be benefited proportionately. I am convinced that the 
Steam Washer will be used in every family.

TO THE INVENTIVE! GENIUS 
Of this age is due the progress of our present 
i high slato of civilization as mtich as to all 
oi lier forces combined. All industrial pursuits 
■ wore prosecuted in a primitive form and man¬ 
ner. Muscles were the reliance f„ r mechanical 
labors pursued, and a man's or woman’s value 
was based upon the strength of these. Brain 
force has changed all this, in the multiplication 
of substitutes for muscle fon-e; and such is 
the extent of ingenuity iu this department, 
that d, is estimated I,lint inure work can 
now be accomplished by one-l until <»1' the 
population of the earth in one year than could 
have been done by Hu whole a;>rltt in the 
same time two hundred years ago. Every class 
of industry tuis felt the influence of genius. 
Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce have 
been atirindalcd into wonderful activity by 
it. Nor lias the household been overlooked 
nor the labors, of woman neglected. The sew¬ 
ing machine i ; an example or what ingenuity 
bus done for woman. It Ims multiplied her 
imwer a hundred-fold with the noodle. The 
washing of wearing apparel and other tex¬ 
tile fabrics by mechanism has been a problem 
that lias employed tin- .-kill of the country, 
and without success until J. Tilton of i»itts- 
burgh struck a principle of imiidpulstion that 
is destined to supersede all other machines 
and do away with all wu bboards. Howe lias 
made his name immortal through the needle, 
and Tilton, in like manner, will perpetuate Ids 
through an Instrument no less important, Til¬ 
ton’s machine is simple, and maybe managed 
by a child twelve years old. Mr. Tilton's ad- 
verti-uMiient is but . moiir.i. exulbition of the 
operation and rapidity of this unique Instru¬ 
ment lor the family. It, Isofieof those produc¬ 
tions that carries Itself into every family by its 
own merits, which captivates .mil elicits the 
admiration of every person who examines it.

BUSINESS AND MONEY. 
It is one of the charms of a business to enjoy 
the exclusive control of an industrial pursuit 
that, is a, necessity to the people. The skill that 
will enable a person to perform in One hour 
what otherwise takes five kooks to perform, 
develops an invention thut makes Its use a 
necessity. Such ingenuity embodied in me¬ 
chanism the United StateB Government has 
declared to he-property, and, in the form of a 
patent, bus invested it with all the immunities 
and t ranch 1 sen of property, It becomes a reali¬ 
ty,.and its exclusive cudml transferred by 
deeds of record, like real estate. 
Thus parties may buy territory, and within 
the purchased grounds exercise jurisdiction 
over the thing so bought, without any fear of 
competition, i’i i*; ».#f business ail men 
covet. J.u. Tilton ol Pittsburgh is onu of the 
favored few who has the ownership of the 
whole United Stales in a machine -Imj le, cheap

proposes to divido this real estate. A more
