DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM

! DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM.
| A light cone of brass receives the corn
! which is held fast by a 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 quarter in length, extend from
| the two angles of the center-piece, within the
| cone, to the edges OF the broom when filed,
| leaving on each side n small hook to con-
meet narrow brass band that flattens 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 III 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 wctting and drying, and cannot work
or shake loose at the handle.
1t would be supertluOus 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 etfectually accom-
plished.
SOME OF ITS MERITS
claim for this broom, the principal are its
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 u perfect broom with
out any machinery in ten minutes, and re-
new 1t as often 1t wears out. Farmers
can raise q few hills of broom corn each year
and having purchased one broom for 81 200
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 broom that will not
wear half so long. We know of no reason
why handle and fixtures may not last
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
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 NAV 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 in it, and their
Aeas0ns for doing So.
l. Broom Makers. Because when they see
il 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.
=. Capitalists, Because they know it is a
success, and they cannot invest their money
IN a safer or more paying business.
3. Returned Soldiers, Because they want
to engage in profitable business, that can
be taken up and dropped at any time, with
ont loss or hazard.
. !. 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,) i'll any specified
territory. We will furnish the broom COM
plete for - per dozen, or we will fur
nish the handle and metallic part for -
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 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 till your |
they can be returned at our
expense, and the money will be refunded
Now suppose you should buy county
having population of $4,000, equal to
about 5000 families. Suppose you should
sell a broom to one half of these land many
viii buy two.) Suppose you should make
81 90 on each one (and you will make more)
suppose 1t should require three months to
canvass county and supply it with brooms,
md suppose yon should pay us $500 for the
light, you would still have profit of 81 400
or three months, $1,000 for a year All
hese estimates are low.
Out of hundreds of cases. we will give one
which is not more than an average, Just to IL

y the way, is mere nominal figure, (sold
out IN detachments, and realized a clear
rof1t of S95O,00 All this took place within
week And yet the parties who bought
he Towns are making from $40 to $1,000
ay canvassing with the Broom. Graham,
Tho purchased nine Ofthe Towns, makes the
tatement, and adds, that in canvassing
hree days, he saw but two families who re-
1sed to purchase Broom.
w W. Whiting of Cupage Co. Ills. bought
ne county for $3.50; cleared his county in
he first two days canvassing.
George Hide, Ogle Co, Ill, purchased that
ounty; after canvassing two days, his first
rder was five hundred brooms.
j. Lamiel. Kalamazoo Co, Mich. purchas-
that county for $3.50; the result of his
rst three days labor was $500 cash ,
This fact we merely give as inference
arties desirous of engaging in the above
lsiness, had better give us call imme- n
ately.
