q. J.. Stedman's Washer Triumphant.
One feature in our County Fair for
1870 will make it memorable to all la
dies who hate the drudgery of washing
day and to all gentlemen who suffer from
the blues occasioncd by "bluc Monday"
o. Il. Stcdman's Washer, which challenged
the world Of old time wooden washing
machines, was on hand and was beauti-
fully operated by II. II. Gibson, ESQ,
and was the admiration of hundreds of
ladies and gentlemen for several days
To say that "Stedman's Washer" ex.
cells every other machine in existence is
simply to utter truism.
1t is self acting, and moved by prin.
ciple in philosophy which challenges the
admiration of scholars and scientific men.
The world has been humbugged by
cog-whcel and lever washing machines
FOR half a century. Old ghosts in new
dress are now in the market, but then
day will be brief for Stedman's Washer
must and will eventually become Il favor
itc in every family in our land. The
forcing of hot suds through the clothc-
by u physical lan while You calmly sit
and look on, is n grand discovery, and tn,
only correct principle in washing.
For the accuracy Of our statements we
call the readers attention to the following
