a Good Thing.-We presume many OF oui
citizens noticed new Washing Machine that
was exhibited on Ernst's corner a few days ago
We know that it was examined by many and
pronounced by all to be the most complete Wash
ing Machine ever invented. 1t had a Wrlnger
attached so that the entire washing might b0
done and the clothes wrung out READY Tor the
line, without hardly putting the hands INTO the
water "A child might work the machine. We ar
not good al descriptions, or we would give one Of
this machine Suffice tito say. it is knuckle
machine, and acts precisely on the principle of
washing by hand. There was also connected
with it patent mop handle that fairly took the
hearts of all the women who saw it.. 1t is so ar.
ranged that the mop is a self-wringer, and there's
fore great labor-sayer. Both these machines
are made for the times TO save labor, and enable
families to get along with less help, or to turn
their surplus labor if they have any into more
channals.
We understand that a Company in this city
have purchased the rights of these articles for
Wisconsin, Iowa aud Minnesota, with the objec
of commencing their manufacture here on large
scale. No one will doubt, after seeing their OPP
Grafton that the manufacture oil them could be
otherwise than profitable. There must be a
large and incre asing demand for them as soon as
they are fairly introduced. A large business in
the manufacture of such practical and useful arr
ticles can soon be built up, because the demand
will equalthe supply, just as coon as the supply
1t will need no forcing process to
induce people to buy really valuable article OF
daily use.
We hope to see the steps taken Immediately,
