Washing Made Easy,


Wash-tub slavery is one of the domes-
tic institutions that has always merited
and received the excavations of mankind.
Washing day" has become a syno-
nym for all that is disagreeable and vex-
atious in domestic life Its severity low
ers vitality and is as destructive of life as
of household harmony and peace. 1t is
feared and dreaded and many have been
the expedients to rid housewifery of this
incubus, and every body comedies that he
who makes the discovery Of process that
secures this end, earns the need Of praise,
and liberal commentator, and is truly
benefactor to society.
The process of cleaning clothes is really
a very simple affair, and when properly
conducted, requires no laborious manipu-
lations 1t is simply chemical action
between the Alkali in the soap and the
insoluble grease and dirt in the fabric by
which the dirt is made soluble in water.
To secure to perfection this chemical
action-two assistants are called in, viz
heat and motion the former to accelerate
the chemical action and the latter to
bring the chemicals in dirt and soap in
contact through all the fbres of the fab
RIGS and to float or carry off the dissolved
dirt. When motion or force is properly
applied to drive the warm suds through
and through the fabric for fifteen min
utes, all rubbing, grinding or pounding is
an unnecessary outlay of strength and
wear and tear of human muscle.
All the conditions necessary to the
most rapid chemical action are obtained
in their fullest extent in
o. f. Stedman's Patent Washer and
all the fatigue and drudgery coupled with
rubbing boards and Founders and worth
less washing machines is forever avoided.
1t costs but few dollars.
1t will not injure tbs most delicate
fabric
1t saves time-it saves moncy-itsaves
labor--it saves clothes-it saves soap
it saves fuel-it saves health. 1t will
wash more cotehs in a day than can be
washed by the old process in a week.
Shirts, collars, cambrics and laces, il
washed by " Stedman's Washer will last
twice as long as if washed by hand.
1t will pay for itself in every six months
in the bare saving of clothes. 1t makes
no slops whatever and it puts smiles on
the face of every housewife and servant
maid on washing day.
We claim that it fully and in every
particular achieves the end sought, and
we challenge the world to produce it:
equal, or even washer that has one
| fourth of its merits We offer $1,000 fol
its successful rival. s. B. r.
