WASHER 
WASHING WITHOUT LABOR! 
A WONDERFUL INVENTION! 
In 1871, Mr. H. It. Robbins, of Baltimore, Invented 
and patented tlie now famous Kutituus’ Finn ly 
tYusher uml Bleach or. 
It was the original, and aa now Improved, the best 
and only perfect self-operating Washer in the world. 
If will do all the family washing in less than half 
the time In which It cun be done In any other way, 
wit hout hand labor, with but very little soap, without 
Chemicals and without any wear and tear or yellow¬ 
ing clothes. 
More than ilfty thousand of these Washers are now 
In use, giving perfect satisfaction, We have thou¬ 
sands of testimonials from all parts or the country— 
from Public Institutions, Hotels, Clergymen, Lawyers, 
Farmers, Editors and every class of people, aud we 
have the Editorial Commendations of ail tlie princi¬ 
pal papers in the land. 
In ISIS The BisseU Manufacturing Company pur¬ 
chased the patent for the \V usher and after two years 
careful experimenting succeeded in simplifying the 
Washer, and In adapting It to use In any sue and style 
of boiler as also In the t>ld fashioned iron wash pot so 
much used In the South (in which the original Robbins' 
Washer would not work) and obtained a reissue of 
reissue of 
their patent on the 41st day of December, 1880. 
THIS PR1NCIP1.F7 OF' THE WASHER. 
The operation of Die WaBlrer consists in rapidly 
and continuously forcing the hot soap suds con¬ 
tained iu the holler from the bottom to the snrfaee,

ute and then drawing It down again through 
the solicit c uitiiiig, while that Is expand¬ 
ed by the boiling heat—causing It to remove 
every particle of dirt and leaving the articles 
after riusLug, thoroughly cleaned and bleached. It Is 
impossible for It to tear or wear,or In any way Injure 
the fubric, us there la no friction whatever. 
HOW DOFS THE WASHER WORK ? 
The Washer having been placed In the bottom of the 
boiler Or pot, us soon as the water commences to boil 
all that which Is beneath It, being surrounded with 
heated metal becomes hotter and more ex punitive than 
that In the remainder of the boiler, and thus lias a ten¬ 
dency to rtvc through the tube, while at the sume time 
all the steam formed beneath the Washer is forced 
to pass out through the tube, and carries along with 
It the water in the washer and cube with great force. 
Its place being supplied by Die water outside, which 
is rapidly drawn Into the washer and in turn heated 
and expellr-d, thus creating a constant atnl powerful 
current upward through the tube and downward 
■ bruiiult i he fnbrt", giving a witter tore** whtch 
cannot nt obtained In any other way. The fahrlc be¬ 
ing expanded to its utmost by the boiling water, tho 
dirt, softened bv the action of the soup, Is at once 
swept away l>y the force of the flow. 
Thus we have, 1st. The greatest possible heat; 2d. 
Perfect chemical action of tho soap, and 3d. Force of 
water. All of which arc necessary to thoroughly 
cleanse aud purify any fabric. 
VV ut is It mwl cleunscM the clothing iu the or¬ 
dinary nuxlra of washing by rubbing, pounding, 
squeezing, drawing betweeu rollers, etc!,? it is the 
iHlIntf of Die fabric with soap suds ns hot as may be 
iboilmg heat being unattainable, especially lu hand 
rubbing! and then lo< clog tl mil again, aud repeat 
ing the process until the clothes are clean. But all of 
these processes require liuml labor You must turn 
or pound, or squeeze or rub; there ts little choice be¬ 
tween them,while with the ltd BRINS' WASH HR. 
the labor is dispensed with and any other work 
of the house may be done while the washing is doing 
i tacit 
THE CAPACITY OF' THE WASHER. 
There are two sizes, the No. 1 or family size, which 
works lu any family boiler or wash-not having u hot 
tom sty by 3 Inches or larger, and holding IU to 15 gal¬ 
lons of water. It takes only 3 or I ounces of soup to 10 
or 14 gallons of w ater, will wash bed or table linen, a 
boiler full in 10or I5mlmlt6s.vvearlngupimrel In from 
4o to oil minutes, without rubbing, and requires no 
previous preparation of the clothes, snob as soaking 
over night. Take the clothes dry, and when the Wash¬ 
er gets lluirasojMy at track, fill the boiler as full as It 
will hold by gently pressing them down with a stick. 
Use UO Chemicals,-only good Hoap and soft water. If 
the water Is hard, It may be softened bv a small 
piece of borax, which is harmless. 
for Inter t ii ria ;§m this Washer Is invaluable, it 
cleanses tbent us no other process can, and without 
the slightest danger of Injury. 
No. 4,or sijliII hotel size, will do the work in a boiler 
holding 15 to 45 gallons, and wash, of average pieces, 
from l.tMKi to 4,W1 per <lay ; or It may be used in any 
smaller boiler. They will work in anything that has 
a bottom large enough for them to rest upon : sav teu 
Inches lu diameter. 
We also make a Washer 5x801 iuehes. suitable for 
use In sunken bottom boilers, and having the same 
capacity as our No. 1,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. 
Q. What kind of boiler do you use ? A. Anv kind of 
a boiler will do. 
Q. How can you have a flow of water at the rate of 
eightorten gallons per minute in aboller holding only 
eight or ton gallons ? a. Ttie same water Is used over 
and oyer again; aud In order to be thus used, it must 
pass down through and through the fabric : and this 
with the soap ami heat is what does the work. 
Q. How can you use a large quantity of water In a 
boiler already full of clothes? A. Fill the boiler two- 
thirds full of water; as soon as the washer com¬ 
mences to work, nut tn the clothes pry. 
Q. Can yon wash flannels and colored clothes? A. 
We wash anything that can be washed. Flannels 
aud colored clothes need bat little soup, and from 
five to ten minutes of the full operation or the Wash¬ 
er. I'lnuni-iK should be liimd.n Hot water. 
It Is the change from iioimno to cold water that con¬ 
tracts the fiber, causing them to shrink. Any fuller 
will tell you this la so Fugitive prints will part with 
their color-, by this or ans process, but fast colors 
will not be Injured.

house/ A. Yes, tf good. 
Cj. is it not better to put very dirty clothes to soak 
overnight' A, No; better not.

wristbands aud collars, Buch as farmers nnd mechan¬ 
ics wear, after they have been worn a whole week, as

est clothing. Unusually soiled portions may require a 
second operation to remove the dirt entirely. Give 
the clothes a thorough rinsing lu hot water.

cleunse fabrics? A. How Is It possible for It not to 
cleanse fnbrlcs?
