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 in the handle. A brass ferule covers the
nut and gives bearing to the shoulder of
the cone Two small brass wires, about an
inch and d 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 a small hook to con-
meet a narrow brass band that tlattenS and
stitfenS 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
OF 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
could be introduced that would secure the
corn to the handle till it could be worn out.
In our broom this end is et1ectually accom-
Plished.
SOME OF IT'S MERITS.
Among the many advantages which we
claim for this broom, the principal are It's
durability and the cheapnesS, ease and dis
patch with which it may, at any time, be re-
newed, and therefore is practical economy.
Any man or woman and almost any child
of ten years, can make perfect broom with
out any machinery i'll ten minutes, and re-
new it as often as it wears out. Farmers
can raise few hills of broom corn each year,
and having purchased one broom for $500,
can make their own without the expense OF
a 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 il broom that will not
wear half so long. We know of no reason
why a handle and fixtures may not last
life time.
Whenever a demand is created for any
article the country produces, some one
stands ready to respond. For lnstance-n
the spring we want some dellcacleS that the
season does not afford, but they have been
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 bring us corn for
our brooms, as soon as we create demand
for it ?
The Glasses that engage i'm it, and their
kkeASOhS uOAHS So"
j. Broom Makers, Because when they see
it they know it will supercede all other
brooms, and they conceive it to their IN
terest to buy the right, rather than have 1T
to go into the hands of any other person.
g Capitalists Because they know 1t is a
/ success, and they cannot invest their money
in a safer or more paying business
8 Returned Soldiers, Because they want
/ to engage in a profitable business, that can
I no +al Ion nm anI 6ToDOad at any time. with
out loss or hazard.

! 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-
! facture the metallic part,) in any specified
territory We will furnish the broom COM
1 plete for s. per dozen, or we will fur
Eish the handle and metallic part for s.
per dozen, or the metallic part alone for
- per dozen. You will sell them f0T
/ 50 90 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 broom,
any party who may wish to buy Rights, can
first send "a to the undersigned, and get
samples. Should the samples not fill your
| expectation, they can be returned at our
expense, and the money will be refunded.
Now suppose you should buy county
having a population of 10000, equal to
about 5000 families Suppose you should
sell broom to one half of these (and many
\ Shn m a q
SIO0 on each one (and you will make more, J
suppose it should require three months to
canvass county and supply it with broOms
and suppose you should pay us $500 for the
right You would still have d profit of S2.4OC
for three months, $1,000 for a year. AL
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 tor their county, 90
Daviess) at our usual rate of selling (Which
by the way, is a mere nominal figure, (Sold
it out in detachments, and realized n clear
profit of S950,00. All this took place within
a week And vet the parties who bought
the Towns are making from $40 to $1,000 a
day canvassing with the Broom. Graham
who purchased nine of the Towns, makes the
statement, 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 IL
the first two days canvassing.
George Hide, Ogle Co, Ill, purchased that
county; after canvassing two days, his frst
order was five hundred broOms.
j. Lamiel. Kalamazoo Co, Mich, purchas
ed that county for $3.50; the result of his
first three days labor was $500 cash.
This fact we merely give as inference
Parties DESTROYS of engaging in the above
business, had better give us call imme
diately.
