WIS valuable Improvement is worthy of every
housekeePer's attention; for it about three
fourths OF both time and labour and with every des
criPfon OF clothes, without injury them. The pro-
cess is SIMPLY by swinging the machine half way over
and by the clothes falling from end to the other
cieanses them The inside of the machine is laid with
rollers to avoid friction.
The subscriber has lately obtained patent for said
achino and the patent rights for counties or states
Will be sold to purchasers low SO as to give
chance to double their money. Also machines ready
made for sale at Mr. Bibbers Carpenters shop oppo
site the Governors, Richmond, Va. price ten dollars
JAMES APPLETON
The certificates below will give satisfactory proof of
its utility more fully:
We have had in uso Appeton's Patent Washing
Machine, and dc hesitate to say that it is prefer
able to any that we have seen used. A woman can
wash as much in day with the machine as she
could in three by hand and oaly half the soap ia me-
cessary We think clears the clothes better than
hend Washing, without injury them. We have also
used Barnes Patent Steam Washing Machine, called
reg Machine; but give Appetons the preference 1t
washes cleaner and faster-therefore VIC recommend
APPieton's Muchipe to the public in general.
