USEFUL PROPERTIES
OF
Il O DIS
Patent Wafhlng Machine.

THIS highly useful Machine is found by
l. experience to excel any hitherto IN
use. 1t will wash as many cloaths (by the
assistance of one person. IN an hour as can
be washed in a whole day, without the pos
sibility of injuring, fretting or tearing the
most delicate article, and with less than halt
the quantity of soap. 1t occupies very little
more space than the common wash-tub, and
with the least care will not create any slop or
wet-the construction is very simple and at
tended with little expence. A further de-
scription of its qualities is now deemed I'm.
necessary, as it is presumed zone will pur-
chase without examining it.
We the subscribers dc hereby certify that
we have found, on trial, the above named
Machine to answer fully the above descrip-
ton. Given under our hands this 5th day of
Nov A II. 1909.
