Charlotte, Mich.: [The Company], 1883. . 8 pp. on single sheet of pink paper, i.e. 8vo single gathering, uncut and unopened; has been folded with small separation in the folds only affecting the blank margins. Washine appears to have been a washing powder. We have only been able to find advertisements seeking agents for the product in various magazines of the period.The present piece is a brochure with many recommendations from satisfied agents.Laid in on a narrow sheet of blue paper is a plea to prospective agents to apply for their own counties as soon as possible, as the demand has been great and the best counties are going fast.All references to this product are in 1883 which might indicate that despite the manufacturer's enthusiasm, the product was not a success (Inventory #: 2723)
