THE METROPOLITAN

T\HIS wonderful Machine is remarkable for the
Il following properties which it is warranted to
possess 1t does not wear the clothes and never
breaks button. 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing, and rin>es clear. II is very SIM
pie, very strong and durable and can harfly get
out of reIar. 1t is light and portable, and when
not IN use takes no more room than the common
wash tubs. 4 common hand can with case and
perfect safety to the clothing, wash faster aud bet
ter than four washerwcmen can by hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
le5s and is now perfect 1t now operate. much
more easily. and weighs only between 50 and 40
pounds. all put up. and when taken down-which
can be done in fourth of q minutes so light
that child IL 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 Founder when they gave their certificates.
From all can judge myself, and from the opn.
this machine nearly two years believe The s,v;..
Of wear to the cloth over any o.Ler nro..ess ~
washing is, At least $40 pc. vesr in exsrv f,;t,.
"f six persons and in that proportion and in ,ore
families 1t is much more than in that proportion
Why all other Machines Fail
Is because they rub only the surfaces Of the cloth
taxing II Tor granfcI that the clothes are soiled on
~ nIn the surface. and that the dirt ,ust be rub
oed on as one would clean board.
Washing by Hand is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface Of the cloth is
wholly unnecessary and great waste Of siren 9Th
as well a. great injury to the fabric.
OBSERVE that the cloth soiled is always soilel
through and through. and that it cannot be cleans.
ed without being washed through and through
Tile 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 pounder carries the
clothes from the outside to the centre of the tub
frasb of al,
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 50 perfectly that
glass vials Of good strength silver thimbles lead
pencils and the like. have been in clothes that we're
pounded out thoroughly. without being injured
Without these spiral springs the cloth would lie
Destroyed. and all the buttons broken. The side
springs combine
The Bow and Arrow Principle,
throwing up the FOUNDER perI@ndicularly and then
upon the same principle assist in THROWN it dow
giving an immense pcwer TO the operaiion So that
with the thumb and finger. person accustomed
to its use, can give heavier blow than she could
with both hand with the FOUNDER mnshipped. With
the old spring pole so often used over the round-
ing barrel. one could guide this heavy pounder.
