Patent WaJhing & Wring
ing MACHINES.
WILLIAM MARSHALL, hereby
gives notice, that he has obtained
the sole right, for the town of Portsmouth,
to the Rev. Ezra Weld's greatlv improv
ed patent Lavatee, and newly dilcov
ered Wringer.,
The LAVATER, which is the walk
ing machine, can be put into operation
by a lad of 12 years old, and is found by
a&ual experiment, to wafli Clothes, with
much greater expedition, and with less
injury to the clothes, than in the usual
way. If is (0 contriyed, that the Agita
tion of the water alone effectually does
the wafliing.
The WRINGER, is so conftruaed as
to press the water from the cloths with
out the least injury, and is therefore pe
culiarly ufeful tor Moflins and fine linen.
As the water is pressed out by turning a
ferew, it is a very expeditious method of,
wringing out clothes.
Theft machines are highly eftcemed,
wherever they have been introduced, as
they greatly facilitate and expedite the se
vere labor of wafliing. The right is ea
gerly fought for in various parts of the
country, and the machines will no doubt
eventually obtain a very general use.
The expence of the Lavater is eighteen
dollars, anrijhat of the Wringer is fix
dollars. Either or both may be had of
the proprietor.
Any one who willies for further fatif
foaion, may try the experiment of one
of these machines, which the said Mu
lhall has on hand, gratis.^
