The undersigned would respectfully announce
to the citizens of Alexandria and vicinity, that,
having introduced their improved
STEAM FEATHER RENOVATION
into this place, they are now prepared to cleanse
and renovate feathers in the most effectual man
ner By pressure of steam, and the way it is
applied, together with the facilities for ventat-
ing and drying which we have invented, we
claim more efectuslly, and in less time, to rem
ovste feathers than by any process ever offered
to the public. Our process not only cleanses old
feathers from all impurities, relieving their
matted condition, thereby increasing their bulk
nearly one halt, making them light and lively,
clean and healthy, but also removes the disa.
greeable odor 80 common to new feathers, and
destroys all moths snd the liability thereto.
rFor further particulars and prices see bills
which will soon be in circulation.
Satisfaction will be guaranteed, or no charge
will be made
Parties DESTROYS of examining the process are
respectfully invited to call at our place Of bust
ness, NO. 66 KING STREET,
between the hours Of 3 and II q. M, whore the
patentee or his agent will be found, who will
take pleasure in showing how the work is done.
Send in your orders and come and see the
process yourselves.
Parties wishing to engage in a safe and profit
able business will find it for their interest to call
and examine. j. r. SHELDON, Patentee
Ii. G. WILSON, General Agent.
