No matter how deep rooted prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment this
little machine is seen to perform its wonders, all
doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility arc
banishcd, and the doubter and detractor at once
become the fast friends of the machine. sg7.,,5

its numerous advantages over all others, and
from hundreds who have thrown aside the un-
wiedy useless machines, which have signally
failed to accomplish the object promised in prom
