| A NEAT INvENTIoN.-Among the many
patent articles for the saving OF labor in the
household, none stand forth more prominent,
or present stronger claim for considers
ton and patronage that the little machine
called the PAIRING, Coring and Slicing Ma
chine" The inventor and patentee is one
Of Worcester's most responsible and best
known manufacturers, and we venture the
assertion that in all Yankeedom, the land
of inventions, much less in Massachusetts,
there is no genius superior to Mr.. ID. Ii.
Whittemore. Mr.. W. has been engaged in
the manufacture of his machine for the past
fifteen years, and in that time has made SO
many Improvements upon his invention,
as to eradicate all traces of the original
machine. The patent Apple Parer, Corer
and Sheer he now offers to the trade, is a
model of simplicity, durability and com
paetness. It can be attached to any pro
Election, or to g table, without injury to wood
or paint, aud for proof of its efficacy, he
housekeepers. The main point in the use
Of these machines, ia the large amount of
labor and time which it saves to the house
keeper, and especially to those who prepare
apples for market. But five turns of a
crank is required, and the apple ia pared,
eored and sliced, ready for the table or for
drying, and the uniformity of the slices
nsures thorough and even cooking. A
large amount OF apple is also saved over
hand work, the construction of the machine
enables it to take as thin pairing as de =
sired, or as large or small core. It will
+ also pare potatoes another AID valuable ad
f vantage to the housekeeper. It's advantages
are many, and the low price at which tt q
7 machine retails, makes it st once desirable
and invaluable TO the housewife, The Union
Apple Parer, also manufactured By Mr..
Whittemore, is another invaluable inven.
ton, and one that ID highly priced for do
messic use. Send to Mr.. WhIttemore for
, descriptive circular, and you vii! be temp,
: ted to test the merits of his manufacture.
