Then this the greatest credit ltapS,
And if the best the rest entomhs,
POWERS has buried the world i'll BrOoms
If POWERS with this the premium has taken,
Then in this your faith should not be shaken,
And if with this the golden harvest rept
With this your house should ever be swept.
ALL ORDERS MUST BE 4 ACCOMPINIED
WITH THE CASH.
DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM.
A light cone of brass receives the corn
which is held fast by double row of teeth
made of malleable iron, inserted between
the two rows of corn, and drawn into the
cone by means of a screw entering an iron
nut III the handle. A brass ferule covers the
nut and gives a bearing to the shoulder OF
the cone Two small brass wires, about an
inch and n quarter in length, extend from
the two angles of the center-pIece, within the
cone to the edges OF the broom when filled,
leaving on each side Il small hook to con-
meet a narrow brass band that tattens and
stittens the broom instead Of sewing. The
difference in weight between this and the
ordinary broom is no more than two or three
ounces and not perceptible. This is the only
patent in which the amount of corn can be
varied at pleasure, according as you may
wish light or heavy broom. They wear
much longer than the ordinary broOms, from
The fact that they are not injured by alter
nate wetting and drying, and cannot work
or shake loose at the handle.
1t wOuld be supertiuOus to tell house
keepers that the vast majority of brooms
would last twice as long if some measure
conld be introduced that would secure the
corn to the handle till it could be worn out.
In our broom this end is effectually accom-
piished.
SOME OF ITS MERITS.
Among the many advantages which we
claim for this broom, the principal are its
durability and the cheapueSs, ease and dis
patch with which it may, at any time, be re-
newed, and therefore is practical economy.
Amy man or woman, and almost any child
of ten years, can make perfect broom with
out any machinery in ten minutes, and re-
new it as often as it wears out Farmers
can raise a few hills of broom corn each year,
and having purchased one broom for s. 90,
can make their own without the expense of
shilling or penny. And in cities people
may renew their broOms at pleasure, for the
simple price of the corn, now not more than
five or eight cents, instead of paying as they
now do, fifty cents for a broom that will not
wear half so long. We know of no reason
why handle and fixtures may not last a
life time.
Whenever demand is created for any
article the country produces, some one
stands ready to respond. For instance-in
the spring We want some delicacies that the
SCttSoI tOcS IOJ dlIOICl, DuJ JHeg nave Deen
preserved for us. In the summer we want
vegetables that we could not raise, and we
find that some one in the outskirts of the
city has anticipated our wants and brought
them to our door. And may we not believe
that these same men will bringus corn for
our brOOms, as soon as we create a demand
for it
The Glasses that engage in it, and their
Reasons for doing So.
l. Broom Makers, Because when they see
1t they know it will supercede all other
brooms, and they conceive it to their in
terest to buy the right, rather than have it
to go into the hands of any other person.
2 Capitalists, Because they know it is a
success and they cannot invest their money
IN safer or more paying business.
). Returned Soldiers, Because they want
to engage i'll profitable business, that can
be taken up and dropped at any time, with
out loss or hazard.
4. Every man, that is out of business, be-
cause he wants to make money.
INDUCEMENTS TO PURCHASERS.
We will sell all the interest secured by the
Letters Patent, Except the right to manu-
tacture the metallic part,) in any specified
territory. We will furnish the broom COM
plete for - per dozen, or we will fur
Elsh the handle and metallic part for s.
per dozen, or the metallic part alone for
- per dozen You will sell them for
$500 each. We make these different propo-
sitiOns so as to be able to suit all parties
Some may wish to fill their own brooms,
others may prefer to furnish their own
handles and fill them themselves.
We are now manufacturing the broom,
and will be ready to fill all orders from those
who have purchased rights. We do not
wish to sell broOms except where we have
disposed of Rights, Yet as we desire none to
engage in the business before seeing a broom.
any party who may wish to buy Rights can
first send 81 to the undersigned, and get
samples. Should the samples not fill your
expectation, they can be returned at our
expense, and the money viii be refunded.
Now suppose You should buy a county
having a population of $4,000, equal to
about 5000 families. Suppose You should
sell broom to one half of these (and MANY
will buy twO.) Suppose you should make
81 90 on each one (and you will make more)
suppose it should require three months to
canvass a county and supply it with brooms,
and suppose you should pay us $500 for the
right, you would still have profit of s.. 400
for three months, 5000 for year. All
these estimates are low.
Out of hundreds of cases. we will give one.
which is not more than an average, Just to IL
lustrate Brown * Cook, of Warren, Ill,
bought the Right for their county, 10
Davless) at our usual rate of selling, (Which,
by the way is mere nominal figure (sold
1t ont in detachments and realized a clear
profit of S95000. All this took place within
a week. And yet the parties who bought
the Towns are making from SO to $1,000
day canvassing with the Broom. Graham,
who purchased nine of the Towns, makes the
and adds, that in canvassing
three days, he saw but two families who re-
fused to purchase Broom.
w. W. Whiting of Cupage Co. Ills, bought |
one county for $3.50; cleared his county in |
The first two days canvassing.
George Hide, Ogle Co., Ill, purchased that |
county; after canvassing two days, his first |
,rder was five hundred brooms.
j. Lamiel. Kalamazoo Co., Mich, purchas- |
ID that county for $3.50; the result of his |
irst three days labor was $500 cash.
This fact we merely give as inference.
Parties desirous of engaging in the above
business, had better give us a call imme-
lately.
