The undersigned would respectfully announce
to the citizens of Alexandria and vicinity, that,
having introduced their improved
STEAM FEATHER REN0VATOR
into this place, they are now prepared to ciesnse
and renoyste feathers in the most etectual man-
ner. By o pressure Of steam, and the way II Is
applied, together with the facilities for ventilat-
ing and drying which we have invented, we
claim more efectually, and in less time, to rem
ovate feathers than by any process ever offered
to the public. Our process not on y 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 so common to new feathers, AID
destroys all moths and the liability thereto.
gs-For 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. &c KING STREET,
between the hours OF 9 and II q. M, where 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
