CLOTHES LINE /!

To the. Ladies Of Mau'y and IJoi,ing
WE ASK THE PRIVILEGE OF SOLIC-
w iting your attention 10 our new quality
of Clothes Line Wire, manufactured, in such
prevented from ever corroding or changing
from its beautiful white color during any num-
Der OF years. We guarantee it to be perpetual
ly infallible against rust, and after you have
used It we are confident that you will concur
with the statements of thousands of families
loud in its praise who have it in use. a.
The following are the advantages gained by
using these Patent White Wire Clothes Lines:
LIST. They are truly an ornament wherever
placed, always retaining that shining Wilderness,
are forever clean and never have to be taken in,
no matter what the weather may be, water or
frost cannot effect them. ssss-.. 49, -
"a. The durability Of this Wire Line is one of
the greatest considerations, as it will last from
thirty 90 fifty years, and during. that time you
sides being Obliged to put mp with an immense
amount of trouble with them. srs-E"
Sd. After it is put up and wiped off it is al
ways clean, while rope line is more or less
exposed to dust and dirt and must be washed
before it is used or it win soil the clothes.
4th. BY actual experience it is found to be BY
far tie cheapest clothes line, besides its great
convenience. This will last lifetime. H
9Th. You can never hang ii too heavily with
clothes. ..lt.t n-r t'r.v ls H-i
9th. Another of the chief advantages of this
line over the rope line is, that clothes OF any Kind
will not freeze to it in cold weather, and the
finest fabrics can be removed at any time with
out injury. A rope line will always absorb
more or less moisture from the clothes, and in
cold weather will freeze through and through,
and thin articles cannot be removed without
liability of tearing them. While the wire being
of pure metallic substance does not absorb
the slightest moisture, consequently there can
not be frost enoughformed to cause an adhesion,
and even the finest gauze can BIZ removed from
the line without injuring il in the least. 9ii
9TH. The alkalies now being used in the pat
ent soaps ha We net the least effect ON the White
Wire Lines. They dry quick and escape.
Sth. 1t will save .yon IFS price in SAVING you
time and trouble every six months you own it.
9th. Il never will break and drop clothes in
t6 the mud. The old rope line is frequently the
cause of whole day extra washing. This enc
thing alone Is enough to condemn the old style
OF lines arever, aud call into reQuisiton an ar
ticle that is free from all such provoking annoy
ances, something strong, clean and durable

then you have it right.
