j. A, Wilson of Chester, exhibits USE
full and ingenious continuance for family
in the shape of wash bench and wringer
combined, 1t being so arranged that It can
be shut up SO as not to occupy more space
than two feet long by eight inches high.
The wringer rises from the centre, the
rolls being rubber, so that the clothes can
be wrung from one tub into the other
without any difficulty. This machine has
just been patented, and Mr.. Wilson is now
engaged in their manufacture, and we pre-
eict that they will take the place of most
wringers now in use, the price being the
same as for wringer without wash
bench.
