THE METROPOLITAN

yUyHIS wonderful. Machine is remarkable for the
follawing properties which it is warranted to
possess. 1t does not wear the clothes, and never
breaks a button. 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
e5cate clothing and rinses clear. 1t is very SIM
pie. very strong and durable and can hardly get
ont of repair. 1t is light and portable, and when
not in use takes room than the common
wash tubs A common hand with ease and
perfect safety TO the clothing, wash faster and bet
ter than four washerwomen by hand.
This machine has been greatly improved since
1855 and is now perfect. 1t now operates much
more easily and weighs only between GO and ~

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 a 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, at least $40 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 .kaehines Fail

Washing by Hand is Wrong,
because the rubbing of the surface Of the cloth is
wholly and is great waste of strength
as well a 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
The Reason ,chy the Metropolitaa Succeeds
is because it forces the water powerfully through
the fabric between the pestles, and the action of

No Buttons can be Broken
because the spiral springs upon the small pestles
relieve the least unequal pressure so perfectly that
glass yials of good Strength silver thimbles lead
pencils and the like have been in clothes that
pounded out thoroughly, without being injured.
Without these spiral springs the cloth would be
destroyed, and all the buttons broken. The side
