THE METROPOLITAN
Washing Machine.

TNHIS wonderful Machine i. remarkable for the
Il following properties which it is warranted to
possess. 1t does not wear the clothes and meyer
breaks button. 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing, and rinses clear Il is very sim
pie. very strong and durable and car bar,ilv o.,
out of repair. II is light and portable and wbsn
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 washerwomen can by hand
This machine has been greatly improved since
1855, and is now perfect 1t now operates much
more easily, and weighs only between 60 and 70
pounds, all put up, and when taken down-wbicb
can be done In one-fourth Of minute-is SO LIGHT

Almost all the certificates have received aro
from persons who had not the benefit of the i'm
proved FOUNDER when they gave their certificates.
From all l can judge myself, and from the opin
ION CT large number of persons who have used
Of wear to the cloth over any other r,pcess of
washing, is. at least $40 per year. in every family
OF SIX persons, and in that proportion and in some
families 1t is much more than in that proportion.
Why all other .Naehines Fail
Il because they rub only the surfaces OF the cloth
taxing 1t for granted that the clothes arc soled on
~ upon the surface, and that the dirt ust be rub
bed on as one would clean board.
Washing by Hand is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface of the ccth is
wholly unnecessary and is great waste of strength
as oSErsg well ss great injury to 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
TIE Reason schy 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.
presenting continuous fresh surface of clothes to
the action of the poundcr, thus washing every
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 in clothes tina. 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 Boso and Arrosc Principle,
upon the same principle assist in throwing it down
giving an immense power to the operation so that
with the thumb and finger, person accustomed
to its use, can give 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 pounder,
as the end OF the pole describes the of acircle

is such that the most filthy horse-blanket or the
direst carpet is thoroughly cleansed without much
fatigue to the operator.
The Skill required to Operate II
is no more than is required to sweep WELL to knead
bread well, to make beds well, or to wash dishes
we'll nor one fourth much as is necessary to
learn the use Of the axe, scythe augur hoe srade
and shovel and who would think Of letting a man
these tools, and work like the savage, be-
cause he was not born with knowledge of the use
of them9 When men don't know the use of these
implements We teach them, and none of them is |
more valuable than this WASHING MACHINE.
Tke Time Required to Learn to usen
varies from to four weeks nearly all do verv
we'll the second washing. Very many work It |
hnely during the first operation while some per |
sons require four five washings to work 1T with
'ase. A failure has never occurred where fair |
rial Of four weeks has been given. With the rn- |
proved machine persons will require more than two
rials to work it easily, If the directions which |
Ire simple, are observed.
The Time and Labor Saved
s more than one half Washinss which REQUIRE
Ill day by hand, are by this Machine generally |
lone IN less than one-half day. The clean |
ing process is done in one fourth the time The /
rinsing and wringing and hanging out, |
AIKEN together, require less than onehalf the time
md no person can possibly rinse well by hand
y Win mls Machine. Very many persons say
hat the Machine is worth its cost for rinsing
lone.
Tile Durability Of this Machine.
$ very great. don't see why it should not last
or ten or twenty years, with only repairs of poun-
Ter and rope. which would be very triiing The
whole cost of repairs upon all the several hund-
ed machines have sold in the last two years,
AIKEN together. 1out amount to two dollars, and
many Of them have been in constant use in laryeI
antilles.
