This latest and best Of all invented
arrangements to lessen the labor of
washing clothes Is just now being in
troduced into this section by Mr.. G..
G. Fish, the proprietor Of the patent.
Many ladies and other persons here in
Gold Hill, Virginia and adjacent local
tiles, have already tested its merits
practically and thoroughly, and find it
Just what 1t Il claimed to be, the very
hest and most perfect of all washers.
Its simplicity, too, Is not the least Of
its meritorious features by any means.
1t IL simply 4 sort Of raised riddle or
sieve full of holes about the size of
ones finger, which Is placed at the
bottom of the ordinary wash boiler,
such rs are used on stoves, and from
this sieve i couple Of tubes the size of
your wrist and about a foot high arise,
the upper ends being curved inwardly.
This simple apparatus Is made Of tin,
Mt any tinware shop, and the principle
upon which it works Is just rs simple
rs the construction of the washer itself.
All there Is to do i first to put the
washer into the boiler with u proper
quantity of water, soap. ETC., then put
In the dirty clothes on top Of the
washer, put OIL the cover. aud start the
water to boiling. When II boils brisk
", full streams Of water and steam
force themselves up through the tubes,
flowing down upon and ~permcating
the clothes most thoroughly, keeping
up a constant and decidedly dirt-re-
moving circulation. TO lazy people
and even those who are not lazy, the
best idea Of the whole is that all they
have to do Is to sit still, read novels. or
eat ice cream If they choose. keeping
perfectly cool and easy for about half
an hour or so, when they 4 take out
the clothes, rinse them ana hang them
up to dry. The great labor Of wash
ing and scrubbing Is all done away
with. All fabrics, from the finest Of
laces to n heavy bed blanket, Il be
thus washed without trouble. These
washers are very cheap, too, only $40,
and never liable 10 get ont Of order.
No family can afford to be without
one, and no woman who does washing
will fail to have one after seeing how
they work. Mr.. Fish Is prepared to
