THE METROPOLITAN
Washing Machine.

HNHIS wonderful Machine is remarkable for the
i following properties which it is warranted to
possess. 1t does not the clothes and never
breaks button. 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing, and rinses clear. 1t is very sim
pie, very strong and durable, and can hardly get
out Of repair. II is light and portable. and when
hot in use takes no more room than the common
wash tubs y common hand can with essss and
perfect safety to the clothing. wash faster and bet
ter than four washefwonen can by hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
1858, and is now perfect 1t now operates Inuch
more easily and weighs only betweeff 60 and 20
pounds, all put up. and when taken down-which
can be done in one fourth of minute-is so light
that a child II years OF age can move 1t about

is because they rub only the surfaces Of the cloth
taking 1t for granted that the clothes soilet on,

Washing by Hand IS Hrong,
because the rubbing of the surface of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary and is great waste of strength

is because it forces the water powerfully through
the fabric between the pestles. and the action of
the water displaced by the FOUNDER carries the
clothes from the outside to the centre of the tub
presenting continuous fresh surface of clothes to
the action Of the FOUNDER, thus washing every
portion of the clothes thoroughly and equally.
No Buttons can be Broken
because the spiral springs upon the small pes,les
relieve the least unequal pressure perfectly that
glass vials of good strength silver thimbles lead
pencils and the like have been in clothes that were
pounded out thoroughly, without being injured
Without these spiral springs the cloth would be
destroyed and all the buttons broken The side

is such that the most filthy horse-blanket or the
dirtiest carpet is thoroughly cleansed without much

implements We teach them, and none of them is
more valuable than this WASHING MACHINE.
TIE Time Required to Learn 10 uset
Varies from one TO four weeks nearly all do very
well the second washing. Very many work il
finely during the first operation, while some per
sons require four or five washings tp work 1T with
ease y failure has never occurred where fair
trial OF four weeks has been given. With the i'm
proved machine persons viii require more than two
trials to work it easily. if the directions, which
are simple, observed.
Tie Time and Labor .Saued
is more than one-half Washiugs which require
all day by hand, are by this Machine generally
done in less than cnehalf day. The clean
sing process Is done in one-fourth the time The
cleansing. rinsing aud wrineing and hanging out
taken together, require less than onchalf the time
and no person can POSSIBLY rinse as well by hand
as with this Machine. Very many persons saw
that the Machine is worth its cost for rinsing
alone.
The DURABILITY cf this Machine
is very great. don't see why it should not last
for ten or twenty years with only repairs of poun-
der and rope, which would bc very irifiing The
whole cost of repairs upon all the several huud-
red machines have sold in the last two Years
taken together, don't amount to two dollars and
many of them have been in constant use in large
families.
