Washing Machine.
TNHIs wonderful Machine is remarkable for the
following properties which it is warranted TO
possess 1t does not wear the clothes, and never
braks button. 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing and rinses clear 1t is very sim
pie very strong and dufabie. and can harily get
out of repair 1t is light and portable, and when
not in use takes no more room than the common
wash tubs A common hand can with ease and
perfect safety to the clothing, wash faster and bet
ter than four washerwon1eu can by hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
1858. and is now perfect. It now operates much
more easily, and weighs only between GO and 10
pounds, al put up, and when taken down-vhich
can be done in one fourth of q minutes so light
that child l2 years Of age can move it about.
Almost all the certificates ! have received are
from persons who had not the benefit of the i'm
proved Jounder when they gave their certificates
From all can judge myself, and from the opin-
ion Of = Large number Of persons who have used
this machine nearly two years, believe the saving
Of wear to the cloth over any other process of
washing, is, al least $40 per year. in every family
families it is much more than,ia that proportion.
WAyaU other Machines Fail
is because they rub onlS d. surfaces Of the cloth,
ly upon the surface, an&f the dirt .,ust be rub
5ed off as would clean board.
Washing By Hund is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary. and is great waste of strength
well a great injury to the fabric.
OBSERVE that the cloth soiled is always soiled
through and through, and that ii be cleans
ed without being washed through and through.
Tile Reason uhy the Metropolitan Succeeds
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
the action of the FOUNDER, thus washing every
portion of the clothes thoroughly and equally.
No Buttons can Je Broken
because the spiral springs upon the small pestes
relieve the least unequal pressure perfectly that
glass vals of good strength, silver himbles, 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
springs combine
The Bow and Arroso Principle,
throwing up the FOUNDER perpendicularIy and then
upon the same princpls assist in throwing it dow
giving an immense power to the operation, so that
with the thumb and finger, person accustomed
to its use, can give a heavier blow than she could
with both hand with the pounder unshipped. With
the old spring pole often used over the pound
ing barrel, no one could guide this heavy pounicr,
the end of the pole describes the Of acirclc.
Tile Pouer Of this lAaehine
is such that the most filthy horse-blanket or the
irtcst carpet is thoroughly cieansed without much
fatigue to the operator.
The Skill required to Operate II
is no more than is required to sweep we'll to kneal
bread well, to make beds well, or TO wash dishes
well nor one-fourth much as is necessary To
learn the of the axe, scythe. augur, hoe spade
and shovel and who would think of letting a man
condemn these tools. and work like the savage be-
cause he was not born with know ledge Of the use
of them? When men don't know the use of these
implements We teach them, and of them is
valuable than tfis " nsHISG MACHINE.
Tie Time Required to Learn to useH
varies fron to four weeks nearly all do very
well the second washing. Very many work It
finely during the first operation, while some per-
sons require four or five washinys TO work .it with
failure has never occurred where fair
trial Of four weeks has been given. With the i'm
proved machine persons will require more than two
trials to work it easily, if the directions, which
are simple, are observed.
The Time and Labor .Sayed
is more than one-half Washings which require
all day by hand, are by this Machine generally
done in less than one-half day. The clean
sing process is done in one-fourth the time. The
cleansing. rinsng and wringing and hanging out.
taken together, require less than half the time
and no person possibly rinse well by hand
with this Machine Very many persons say
that the Machine is worth its cost for rinsns
alone.
THE Durability Of this Machine.
is very great. l don't see why it should not last
for ten twenty years, with only repairs of poun
der and rope which would be very irifing. The
whole cost of repairs upon all the several hund
red machines have sold in the last two years
taken together, doat amount to two dollars. and
many of them have been in constant use in large
families.
