THE METROPOLITAN
Washing Machine.

u NHIS wonderful Machine "a remarkable for the
following properties which it is warranted to
possess. 1t does not wear the clothes, and never
breaks a button. 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing. and rinses clear. II Is very sim
pie. very strong and durable, and can hardly get
cut Of repair. II is light and portable and when
not in use takes more room than the common
wash tubs. A common hand eau with and
perfect safety to the clothing wash faster and bet
ter than four washcrwomen can by hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
lsos, and is now perfect. 1t nov operates rauch
more easily. and weighs only between go AMI 20
pounds, an put up, and when taken down--which
can be done in one fourth of m;nute--is light

Almost all the certificates have Tceived are

this machine nearly two years. believe the saving
of wear to the cloth over any other process OF

families il is much more than in that proportion.

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

through and through. and that it cannot be cleans

The Reason rhy the Neiropolitaa Succeeds

the fabric, between the pestles, and the action oi
