ARGE CAPACITY, GREAT Stregnth
/ and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, are qualities pe-
culiar to the
Nonpareil Washing Ma
chine.
1t is squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the ex
perience derived from FIVE years extensive
use in fcmilies, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be of lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by roIary motion acting on a crank shaft
with balance wheel, which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborous and most powerful that can be de-
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
work with the greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
statement that it is geared to give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes a minute-Safety to the fabric
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubbing.
A girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma,
chine, and do weeks washing for a family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours
time; and it may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly. without assistance
from hand rubbing
