EATON’S PATENT DELUGE BOILER WASHING MACHINE Consists of BOILER ADAPTED TO FIT ANY STOVE, With a Cylinder covered with corrugated bars, and Buckets fitted within the Boiler, in which are placed the clothes, and operated by a crank passing throngh the side of the Boiler, and connecting with the Cylinder, as shown in the cut. Although the Machine is perfectly simple, it Is constructed in strict accordance with Scientific principles, And its great efficiency consists in the perfect adaptation of the me- chanism to fully develop and apply said principle in connection with certain conditions of heat, steam, &c.,as per directions sent with ev- ery machine. THE ADVANTAGES OF THIS MACHIME Over all others consists in a more perfect combination of all the ele- ments necessary ffhd essential in a perfect Washer. If the conditions are complied with the results will be the same, and The Machine trill surely ilo its work. The first impression of the Machine is good and different from most others, and the general coincidence of testimony in all cases where it has had a fair trial is remarkable. As it saves labor, health, time, and money, and is especially de- signed and adapted to help woman’s work, it surely merits the most generous patronage, and cannot fail to retnrn to the public at large a full equivalent. • Circulars will be sent on application, containing testimonials, refer- ences and ether information desirable, respecting the machine. Ageuts wanted to sell Machines or Territory. @SSN presenting tliis .Machine to the public, .we feel per- j fectly confident that the just expectations of every . purchaser will be fully realized.

This Machine fully meets the great want of the public and commends itself especially to those desiring to make houae- ifnr/, a* nisi/ a* possible, as it can be operated wiMi the least possible amount of labor and does the work rapidly and in the most perfect manner if properly used. AS A LABOR-SAVING, ECONOMICAL, EFFICIENT MA- CHINE IT HAS NO EQUAL. Fully satisfied of its merits and believing its introduction a public benefit, we most cordially identify ourselves in in- troducing and bringing it into practical use, relying solely on its own merits.

WELLS BROTHERS, New Milford, Conn. For Town, County or State Rights For the sale of EATON’S WASHER, In either of the New England States, apply to WELLS BROS. Testimonials. As this Machine has been in operation but a short time in the New England States, we present a few testimonials from those who have had a full opportunity of testing its merits : At the Annual Exhibition of the Kansas State Agricul- tural Society, at Fort Scott, 1870, ii took the First Premium for best Washing Machine, as shown by certificate in our possession. [The following is from the County Clerk of Chenango Co.. N. Y.] Mr. Wm. Eaton : Dear Sir — Your Deluge Washer was taken on trial and but little expected from it, as the experience of my family with washing machines has not been a profitable one. It required but little use, however, to convince all that it would do all promised for it, and it was duly in- stalled and still remains a permanent institution of the household. I am authorized by “ the power that is,” to give it her unqualified recommendation. Yours truly, Jas. G. Thompson. Norwich, March 27th, 1871. It takes the lead. This Machine has, wherever it has been introduced, taken the lead of all others, and is beyond question the greatest labor-saving Washing Machine yet invented. Havin'; used Eaton’s Washing Machine in our family the past winter, we do not hesitate to commend it to those who want a labor-saving machine in the family. We have used various kinds for the last thirty years, and this the last is pronounced the best. /lx military advantages are not to be overlooked. Dispensing with the hard labor ot rubbing (as it does in good degree,) over a steaming washtub, it will remove one great cause of voids and serious lung complaints to w/uch fe- males are svlyfeb A large number of machines are in use in this neighbor- hood, and as far as I am informed, give universal satisfac- tion. T. S. Gold. West Cornwall, April 17, 1871. Suakon, April 8, 1871. Samukl Scovii.i.e, Esq. Dear . Sir : — We have not been very long in the use of the Washing Machine which you sent us, but have tried it long enough to be well satisfied that it is an article of very great value in housekeeping. The celerity and thorough- ness with which it performs what in housekeeping experi- ence has been deemed the most tedious drudgery of the week, will, 1 am quite sure, recommend it to general use. — One of our neighbors, who is a lad}' of great skill and expe- rience in housekeeping, gives the same verdict of approval. Yours truly, C. F. Sedgwick. Two Points of Excellence. Most people understand that the action of alkalies are in- jurious to all cotton or woolen fabrics. As this machine needs very much less soap than any other process, a more important saving is effected than people who have not tak- en the matter into consideration are aware of. As Eaton’s Machine is perfectly easy to operate and takes but little time, with the steam mostly confined to the boiler, the objections against any other process are to a very great extent obviated by its use, and it is just as truly a health- saving as it is a labor-saving machine. Machines Warranted. Any Machine purchased without trial will be warranted fully to meet its recommendations or it can be returned at our expense and the money promptly returned. Wells Bros. Having given Wm. Eaton’s Patent Washing Machine a thorough trial, we are much pleased with it, and can say that it more than answers our expectations — performing all that is claimed for it. It does its work easily, quickly and well, requiring about one-half the soap and fuel of other machines and subjecting the article washed to the least pos- sible wear and tear. As a labor-saving, economical ma- chine, simple in its operation and not liable to get out of or- der, we think it eminently adapted to meet the great want of housekeepers and can heartily recommend it to all who desire to make washing easy. George II. Gaylord. Gaylordsville, April 13, 1871. Wells Bros*. I have given Eaton’s Patent Washing Machine a trial and am much pleased with it. It is a great saving of labor; it saves time; it saves one-half the soap and fuel, and does its work well — subjecting the articles washed to the least possible wear and tear. As washing is quite a specialty with me, I have had opportunity to give the machine a fair trial, and am fully satisfied of its merits, and can cheerful- ly recommend it to all who desire to save labor and lime, and make washing comparatively easy. Mrs. Jeremiah Bros sox. New Milford, April 14, 1871. [From it. W. Franklin. Superintendent 11. R. R.] We are much pleased with the Eaton Washing Machine, and I must confess this is the only one I ever saw and liked and consider it worth any thing. Yours, IT. W. Franklin Wanted. Good Agents wanted in all parts of the country, to sell Machines or territoiy. To good active men the chance foi profit is almost cer- tain, the risk and capital required comparatively nothing Address WELLS BROTHERS, New Milford, Conn. ’ New Milford, April 5th, 1871. Messrs. Wells Bros, Gents : — In response to your enquiry as to the result of oitr experience with your Deluge Washing Machine, I must say that after several weeks’ trial we are very well sat- isfied v ith it. When your agents left it, requesting that we should give it a trial and keep it or not as we pleased, I did not have the least idea that weshould keep it, as we already had one machine and had tried others and found most of ! them unmitigated humbugs, so far as saving labor was con- cerned. ■| But the first trial of yours convinced us that we had got hold of something of an entirely different character, and it. has steadily grown in favor with us. It chief merits are its great economy of time, fuel and soap A washing can be done with it in about half the tune required by any other machine, and the washing and boiling being done both at the same time and so much less water being used that nearly or quite one-half of the fuel usually consumed is saved. It also saves nearly one half of the soap. We find it so easily operated that a child ten years of age Can use it. And last but by no means least, it does its work in the most perfect manner, which we can say of no other machine with which we are acquainted. It seems to be so exactly suited to the Wants of every family that it must supersede cveiy (Mbor ivtacldne wherever it is introduced. ■Respectfully yours, Perky N. Hall. 'Nrom Dt. Bacon. New Milford, April 20th, 1872. I haVelhis day examined carefully Eaton’s Washer with particular reference to its merits in a sanitary point of view. Apart from the sax ing of time and labor, the Tact that our women who use it are not exposed to the reeking steam, which by opening the pores, lays the foundation for the numerous colds and more serious lung diseases, so many of them ate subject to, proves it doubly a health-saving ma- chine as well as a convenience. It. seems also to be con- structed on purely scientific principles. J. Knight Bacon, M. D. [Doncon E. D. Pratt says:] We have given Eaton’s Patent Washing Machine a tiior- ! ougli trial, and must say that it more than meets our ex per tations, performing all that was claimed for it. In fact, we think we cannot wash Without it. We most cheerfully re- commend it to all housekeepers. Yours truly, E. D, Pratt, West Cornwall, April, 1871, So for as -I have tried the Eaton Washer, I like it, and think it decidedly the best machine I have ever used. Seth Hollister. _ Woodbury, Conn. Mr. Samuel Scoville. Dear Sir : — The Eaton Washer that I bought of you eight months ago and use in my family, fully answers the recommend that you gave it, and has already saved us the cost of the Machine. J. P. Brewster. West Cornwall, April 10, 1871. In a Sanitary point of view Eaton’s Machine is entitled to careful consideration. Wash- ing with any rubbing machine or by hand, requires hard, active exertion over an open tub or machine, exposed for a long time, and breathing the steam of heated alkalies, open- ing the pores, and reducing the system, renders the person very susceptible to colds, resulting in ill health to a greater or less extent — especially in lung complaint and difficulties of - that nature. Eaton’s Machine requires very little labor or time, and the steam is mostly confined to the boiler, obviating to a very great degree the objection to all other machines, and is as truly and to the same or greater extent a health-saving as it is a labor-saving machine. How to get I OO per cent r for your Money. Invest it in Wm. Eaton’s Deluge Boiler Washing Ma- chine for the use of your family. Deacon R. R. Pratt sends the following: I hereby certrfy that I have used in my family different kinds of washing machines, but have not had one that has proved satisfactory until we tried Eaton’s Patent W usher. I find this to be what is claimed for it. It saves in labor, it saves in time, it saves in soap, it saves in wear and tear of clothes, it saves in fuel, and I can cheer- fully recommend it to all who want an article of the kind, and who may know how to use it when they get it. Russell R. Pkatt. Cornwall, April 11, 1871. We are using Wm. Eaton’s Patent Wheel Washing Ma- chine and it is the first of the many patents that we have used that was worth anything. It fully meets our expec- tations, and performs all that it is recommended to do. We think it is one of the most important inventions of the age for the purpose for which it was designed. Nathan Hart. West Cornwall, April 7, 1871. Messrs. Wells Bros. Gents : I have tried the Eaton Patent Washing Machine and am fully satisfied that it is all that is claimed for it. It is a labor-saving machine. I consider it as much assistance to me as my husband’s mowing machine is to him, and most cheerfully recommend it to any one desiring a good washing machine. * Mrs. Theo. Judson. Woodbury, Ct., April 4, 1871. An Important Fact. It has been said that the invention of Eaton’s Washer is one of the most important of modern limes, and when its effects are taken into consideration, viz : changing 52 hard unpleasant days in each year into easy, pleasant, cheerful ones, we must come to the same conclusion. Woman’s Rights. We go for woman’s rights practically. Give them all one of Eaton’s Washing Machines. [Rev. Thos. Harronn, Presiding Elder of the Methodist Church, says:] My family have been using Mr. William Eaton’s Deluge Washing Machine for the last three or four months. We I think there is nothing equal to it. It is a perfect success. | We are every way satisfied with it. I could most cheerful- ly recommend it to any family, not only in doing its work well, but it saves time, strength and health. Too much in its favor could not well be said. It is one of the most im- portant of modern improvements. Taos. Hakkoun. Norwich, March 27th, 1871. [Rev. Samuel Scoville, son-in-law of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, says :] During the past ten years I have had in my family seve- ral washing machines, gave them all a trial, and then threw them aside, and not until I found the Washer ot the Eaton Patent did I find anything that satisfied. It lias been used six months in my family and gives perfect satisfaction. Sam’l Scoville. I fully concur in the above statement. Dr. H. R. Bellows. The Leroy Gazette, Leroy, Genessee Co.. N. Y., Starch 23d, says of Mr. Eaton’s Washer:] Wonders in the domestic labor-saving department will ! never-cease, and the charm of this age is now invented and in full operation. We have tried it, and our neighbors have tried it, pronouncing Eaton’s Deluge Washing Boiler a marvel. It is in all its arrangements the most perfect Wash- . ing Machine we have ever seen. A child can handle it with ease; and whether boy or girl, manor woman, they can do the washing faster than the mistress or maid can rinse and wring. This wonderful machine washes, boils j and bleaches the clothes in the space of ten minutes. - A Perfect Machine. Eaton’s Machine possesses all the elements of a first-class article. It is cheap, durable, efficient, economical, simple, | aorrectin principle, equally so in mechanism, designed, in- vented and adapted to meet what has been and is consider- , ed the great want of every household. Every new trial de- monstrates that it is every way a success. W ells Bros. G 6 ul.s ; — Having thoroughly tested Eaton’s Washing Machine, I do not hesitate to say that it docs the work full as well as represented by the agent who left it with me. M. W. Odell. Washington, April 14, 1871. Messrs. Wells Bros. Gents : — We have given your Eaton Patent Washer la thorough trial. My wife thinks it is a great labor-saving 1 machine. We can do our washing easier and cheaper than by any washerwoman we ever had. It takes less soap and water than any other machine or the old washboard. Any child 8 or 10 years old can easily operate it. We do our washing in less than half the time and much easier, with less wear on clothes than by any other machine we have ever tried. It does its work in the best, manner, and any one that will give ita fair intelligent trial cannot help liking it. No family should be without one, as it is the greatest i labor-saving and health-saving as well as economical ma- chine we have ever seen, and ranks first among modern im- provements of this kind known. Yours, &c\ Frank L. Morehouse. Park Lane, Conn., April 15, 1871. Proof. We offer one of Eaton’s Washers without charge to any one who will point out any defect in the Principle, Process or Mechanism peculiar to this machine, and which gives it its efficiency and power over any other machine yet in- j vented. In-ease of operation, in effectiveness, in simplicity and probable durability it is far superior to any oilier washer yet invented, is our unqualified opinion and that it is abun- dantly able to stand on its own bottom , a fair trial will cer- tainly demonstrate. The best proof that can possibly be given of the quality of any machine is the fact that those who commence using them continue to do so, which is the case with Eaton’s Washer, even to the first put in operation. From Dr. Jaincp nine. Having witnessed the operation of the Eaton Washer, I am convinced that those who use this Machine will find the I ordinary injurious effects of washing upon health greatly di- j minished by the amount of labor saved and the direction J given to effort, James linns. New Milford, April 17th, 1871. I We are using Wm. Eaton’s Deluge Washer and think the benefits resulting from its use for the purpose for which it is intended, fully equal to the best sewing machine, and we do not now think we can do without one, and should not if they cost twice what they are now sold for. Edmund Hart. Cream Hill, West Cornwall, April 17, 1871. We find in the use of the Eaton Deluge Boiler Washing Machine that there is an enormous saving of first, Strength, second, Time, third, Labor , and fourth, J/oney — in that it forces out the dirt 1)\' the steam, in place of destroying the fabric by rubbing. We had, years ago, set aside all wash- ing machines as unfit for woman to use, but in the intro- duction of the new principles combined in the Eaton Ala- j chine, we have the long wished for article. Deprive us of the purchase of another, and this is not for sale at any price. : We cheerfully recommend it to all. But to those who make washing a business, we would say, do not fail to try it. As an investment in a machine, it is the cheapest that has ever been brought before the public, because of its durabil- ity and actual merit. I can sewno reason .why, with proper care, one will not last twenty years. Very respectfully, Your most obedient, Wm. S. Baldwin. New Milford, Conn., April 15, 1871. A Peculiar Feature Of this Machine and one that gives it great value comprises four open Buckets in the Cylinder that raise and pour 20 to 30 gallons of boiling water per minute over the articles washed, while they are constantly moving in the cylinder. B^"In all cases where the machine has had a fair trial, il has performed all that has been promised for it, and always | will. Messrs. Wells Bros. Gents : — Wc have given your Eaton Washer a trial. Wo think it very efficient in cleaning or getting the dirt out of clothes — the machine properly used in this respect, is far superior to any we have ever tried. It is in a high degree a labor-saving machine. It saves very much in the wear and tear on clothes. A machine that will do what it has done for us entitles it to rank first among washing machines, if it does not supersede all others. Wm. Hartwell. New Milford, April 12, 1871. Wells Bros. Gents : — Eaton’s Deluge Boiler left with 11 s has been thoroughly tried by Mrs. Gunn, and she pronounces it an excellent machine. A boy of eight years can do the washing of a family with the eye of an experienced washerwoman to direct the oper- ations. Happy are they who have such a simple and effi- cient helper. E. W. Gunn. Washington, Conn., April 14, 1871. To Parties desiring Territory. To all persons desiring to buy territory for Eaton’s Wash- ing Machine in Fairfield, New Haven, Middlesex and Tol- land Counties in this Slate, or in any other of the New England States, we offer good facilities for investigation, and all the information necessary, with Patterns, Fixtures, Ac., to enter at once into a profitable and safe business at a small outlay. With the evidence in our possession of the great combination of good points in this machine and the practical tests of it all resulting in its favor — with its rapid sale wherever it has been offered to the public, taking the precedence of all other machines, it can hardly fail to satis- fy any one that it must supersede all other washing ma- chines ever yet invented or likely to be for a long time to come. The great want of the age has been just such a ma- chine as Mr. Eaton’s great combination of all the essential elements of washing and can hardly fail to be brought into general use wherever known. WELLS BROS., New Milford, Conn. (fitjeatest Success of the A g c ! WM. EATON’S PATENT RAR-FA M E D Patented August 0, 1870. With this machine the entire washing of a family of eight or ten persons can be done in about one-half the lime re- quired by other machines, and can be operated with ease by a child ten or twelve years old. By an arrangement inside the Cylinder, we elevate thirty gallons of water per minute, which is poured on the clothes while they are being agitated and exposed to the scalding steam. By t his process it will readily be seen that the goods are being Washed, Boiled and Bleached at the same time. GOODS WASHED BY THIS MACHINE REQUIRE NO RUBBING. It is acknowledged by all who have tried it that the gyods are whiter and eleaner than when washed by hand. The Machine is light and easily handled. The cylinder is so constructed that it is removed by mere- ly lifting from the boiler. The boiler can then be used for other purposes. This machine has been thoroughly tested by the best housekeepers, hired girls and washerwomen, and they universally pronounce it All that could be desired in a Washing Machine. This machine has been tested by the side of the Kidney, Brooks and Slater Wheel Machines, and raises by the buck- ets (which gives this machine its power over all others yet invented,) ten gallons of water to one gallon by either of the other machines, and is universally acknowledged to be far superior to either.
