POINTS OF SUPERIORITY.
Twenty Reasons Why | Prefer The Sinclair
Washing rlachne.

l. Because it washes on the heavy
pressure principle-without friction.
2. 1t does not wear out the clothing
as do other machines. There is scarce
ly no wear at all on the clothing,
3. 1t washes clothes perfectly clean,
such as hens on skirts, shirt collars
and wristbands without hand rubbing
4. 1t will wash in about half the
time allotted to other machines.
5. 1t is self adjusting and will wash
anything from horse blanket to a
linen handkerchief
6. 1t works smooth and runs easy.
I. 1t washes with either warm or
hot SudS as desired.
s. 1t requires no oiling.
8. 1t rnSes the clothes with the
same motion as in washing.
10. 1t is light, strong and durable.
IL. 1t will not get out of order.
II. 1t is especially valuable for all
heavy or very dirty clothing.
13. 1t is novel In construction and
unlike any other washer.
IA. 1t folds complete and occupies
very little space when not in use.
10. 1t will not injure the finest fab
RIGS.
10. 1t is composed of the best ma
terial,
II. 1t requires less work than other
washers.
49, 1t is simple in construction and
complete in It's work.
49, 1t is all that any one can ask in
a washer.
20. 1t is the Sinclair Superior and
as such is without fault.

cheapest machine that has ever come
before the people Of this country, as
Gen. W. o. Jarman has we'll said in
his recent happy reference to the Lit
tie Wonder.
/. 1t will last three times as long as
any other machine; and therefore if
the average box machine costs seven
dollars, the Sinclair is certainly cheap
er than any other even if its cost
should be twice the amount now
charged.
2. 1t saves not less than two hours a
day on the average, which in tifty-two
waShings would amount to l04 hours
equal to two weeks labor which, at
81. so per day for two weeks time,
would be nearly double the cost of the
machine.
3. 1t is saving on the wear and
tear of clothing to an amount of not
less than twenty dollars per year with
the average family over other ma
chimes. And with these advantages
would not the good lady that uses the
Sinclair Washer do better to pay three
times as much for this as she would
for friction machine ?

Special Notice.

The Sinclair Superior Washer is the
LITTLE WONDER, that furnishes the
most hattering inducements tOagentS.
1t is the Giant Of the West-the Gem
Of the Prairie, that is meeting with
the greatest success wherever intro
.duced; and agents desiring liberal
compensation for services will find it
largely to their interest to inveSti-
gate the chances with the Sinclair.
This you can do by calling on E. NJ.
Sinclair, w. o. Jarman or any general
agent.
Mr. Sinclair, owner Of the patent,
controls the business and will trans
fer all right and title for their sale in
a township to the purchaser of six
machines at ten dollars each. Or be
will deed county, with exclusive
right of sale, to the purchaser Of
twenty-four machines at ten dollars
each. And a state will be transferred
on terms very encouraging to the pur-
chaser.
He has already covered large ter.
ritory on these terms; and persons
wanting exclusive right of sale for
nearly seven years yet to run, will do
we'll to enter contract at once. Mr..
Sinclair is inclined to do just the right
thing for his agents, and is ready al
ways to give the right man a promi.
nent place in the work.
II you contemplate agency work, or
II you want tirst-claSs washer, you
should first inspect the Sinclair. Any
agent will gladly give you a chance to
test its qualities; and after you have
seen it work. you can readily see why
it is, that it becomes so popular
wherever introduced. The next thing
is for you to buy a machine-thus
showing your confidence in it and
then push right out as salesman and
for territory while the field is great
and the laborers are few.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1903-09-17

But Uncle Sam is sufficient authorl-
ty, and we are glad to know that
manufacturing establishments have
generally decided to protect their
agents against the intrusions of un.
constitutional legislation. We believe
the right should prevail and that
supreme authority should be respect.
ed.
The decision however, cannot pre-
vent incorporated towns from enact
ing laws in favor Of an occupation tax
providing such laws apply to
resident business men or women and
not to travelling agents or tranScients.
The travelling agent has as much
right to do business without license
In city, as he has to carry on his
work in the country unlicensed; for no
legislative body can enact a law and
execute it successfully against the
supreme authority.

Why Sell For Ten Dollars ?

1t is only occasionally that a Gus.
toner shows any dissatisfaction in
regard to the price of the Sinclair
Superior Washer; and such however
have nothing to say, after considering
few points which we are about to
make in regard to the machine.
1t is, and always has been the right
OF every patentee to put a price on
his work in proportion to the skill dis
played in the invention, and its value
to the purchaser; otherwise genius
would never have contributed to the
advantages of our race as it has. The
government sanctions the right when
it grants the exclusive privilege Of
the patentee to the benefits Of his
labor. And had not the genius Of the
age received this sort Of encourage
ment, it is not at all probable that
inventive genius would ever have con-
tributed so largely to the satisfaction
and prosperity OF our race. The civliz-
ed nations of the world today recognize
the fact that genius deserves a reward
and real thoughtful people everywhere
cheerfully grant to genius the advan-
tages it so justly deserves. Genius
has never received its just reward. 1t
has never had the pay it so justly de-
serves. We have an illustration OF
this in the Sinclair Little Wonder. 1t
is a saving Of time and money amount
ing to millions.
What would our manufacturers
have done without the Cotton Gin
What would become of our farme.o
without the binder, the header, the
riding pillow, the mower and scores Of
other useful articles encouraged by
the Patent laws Does not every
farmer know that the threshing ma
chine is great saving Of labor, and
hence valuable far beyond the actual
cost; and that the price charged for
these machines generally is far below
their real value to the people? Is it
not vain for any one to imagine that
the Sinclair Superior washer comes in
as an exception among all other pro-
ducts OF inventive genius? The ma
chine is not selling for half its real
worth and no humble housewife is
willing to part with it for several
kslmes the price after becoming famil-
lr with its real merits.
The Sinclair Washer is indeed the

Novelty In The Sinclair Agency Work. In

"You can't sell US washer. We

as Sinclair washer agent called the
other day. 81 have not come to sell
you washer" said the agent. lam

Spouse. But the persistent agent
prevailed, and the good lady was fin
ally induced to submit few gar
mentS only, to the test Of the Little
Wonder; when the agent said, What !!
Is this all you have ?" And the an

'ladyship. "And how long would it
take YOU to wash these ten gar
mentS," asked the agent. II will do it
in half an hour" responded the good
woman. "Well," said the agent, 81
will do it in half a minute, and you
may time me-what time is it i? " The
lady stated the time and the agent
had the clothes wrapped and ready to
run through the machine. In less
than thirty seconds the clothes were
produced absolutely clean, much to
the surprise of the good lady, and the
agent was about to pack his machine
and depart after offering FULL PAY
for the clothes spoiled by washing.
The lady, however, refused any pay
and at the consent of the agent,
brought out a large washing, which
he had ready for the line in less than
two hours, to the great satisfaction of
the house. The agent left machine

And this is only one in hundreds Of
similar instances in which purchas-
er ora Sinclair Washer at first fatty

the business; but q more mature re-
Election, after careful investigation
induced submission to the purchase
of machine.
1t is always we'll that we investi.
gate an issue or problem, before we
decide against its merits. A great
deal Of the difference Of opinion In
both politics and religion is due either
to ignorance in certain lines or pre-
judlce against certain theories. Let
the world become more universally
informed, and there will be more har.
mony-in our opinions.
Is it not possible that the time may
come when, as a result of inveSiga-
tion, that all viii be using the same
washer-when the Sinclair will be
found in every house?
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1903-09-17

1t Is fact that we would not dis
guiSe that multitudeS of persons who,
midst more or less dissatisfaction,
have been in the habit of hlreing
their washing done have cheerfully
taken hold of the work themselves
after becoming acquainted with the
Sinclair Washer, and are today not
only saving largely In wash bills but
also In the wear and tear of clothing
by doing the work themselves. With
the Sinclair, waSh.day ceases to be a
dread, but rather a pleasure against
the many liabilities and disadvantage
In sending washing away from homes,

MesSrs Sinclair, Jarman & Co., joins
IN saying; 1.-THE business Of the SUI
perlor Washer Is not subordinate fin.
ancially to any other business. An
effort TO lessen the burden Of washday
is a noble calling, and no agent en-
gagged in the sale of our washer should
feel the least embarrassment as he

BLEW OFF PILOT.
Dynamite Placed on the Track

Exploded Under the Engine OF
Freight Train.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 6.-The Northern
Pacific suffered again last night from
the work of dynamiters. When an extra
westbound freight YVES three miles west
of Birds Eye, a station eight miles
west of Helena, an explosion occurred
A portion of the tracks was destroyed
and the pilot and headlight of the en-
gine were blown off. The engineer stop
ped the train in time to prevent it's be-
ing ditched. No one was hurt, but the
roadbed was torn UP badly and freight
trains were tied up until repairs could
be made. News of the outrage was re-
ceived in Helena by the railroad detec-
tives early today and a special train left
for the scene at once. Chief of Detec-
tives McF'etridge was in charge of a
party composed of several detectives
and sheriffs. Six bloodhounds were ta-
ken. .
Engineer Reilly arrived in Helena
with his train early today. The engine
was badly wrecked. He said it seemed
to him as though there was explosion
of dynamite on each side of the engine.
1t was his opinion that dynamite had
been placed on the track a few moments
before his engine was wrecked by the
