Washing Machine.

nNHIS xonderSal Machine is reu,arkable for the
Il following properties which it is warranted to
poesess- 1t does ncz wear the clothes. and never
breaks button. 1t cleenses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing and rinses clear It Is very sim
pie, very strong and durable, and can hardly 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 washefwomen can by hand
This machine has been greatly improved since
1883, and is now perfect. IL now operates much
more easily, and weighs only between 60 and 20
pounds, all put up, and when taken down-whieh
can be done in fourth of minutes 50 light

Almost all the certificates / have received are
from persons who had not the benefit of the i'm
proved FOUNDER 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 SO per year. in every family
Of six persons and in that proportion. and in some
families it is much more than in that proportion.
Why all other Machines Fail
is because they rub only the surfaces Of the cloth
taking it for granted that the clothes are soiled on
ly upon the surface and that the dirt .lust be rub
5ed off as one would clean board.
Washing by Hamd is Wrong,
because the rubbing Of the surface of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary and is great waste of strength
as well rs q great injury 10 the fabric.
OBSERVE that the cloth soiled is always soiled
through and through and that it cannot be cleans
ed without being washed through and through.
The Reason schy the Metropolitan Saeceeds
is because it forces the 1ater powerfully through
the fabric, between the pestes, and the action ol
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

portion Of the clothes thoroughly and equally.
No Buttons can be Broken
because the spiral springs upon the small pestles
relieve the least unequal pressure perfectly that
glass vials of good strength silver thimbles lead
pencils and the like. have been clothes that wers
pounded out thoroughly. without being injured
Without these spiral springs the cloth would b.
destroyed, and all the buttons broken. The sid.
springs combine
The Bow and Arroso Principle,
throwing up the FOUNDER perpendicularly and ther
upon the same principle assist in throwing it dowr
