Sir: The Success Washing Machine that
bought of you proves TO be the best washer
ever saw. Itdoes the work easily, quickly
and better than by any other process. Before
had always said that no washer could be
made TO wash clean without tearing and rub
bling the clothing TO pieces But when saw
the SUCCESS do it perfectly and without in
jury TO the finest goods had TO knock under
10 it. 1t has no equal.
Yours truly. R. s. UMSTAD.

W. L. G. APPLEBY, Esq.-Dear Sir take
much pleasure in stating that my wife is high
ly pleased wit4 your Washing Machine which
bought OF you. She would not part with
it for anything in reason. You may feel as
sured that the "Success" is, and will be, a
perfect success. 1t does all that you claim
for it.
When Washing Machine takes out the
dirt il does all that should be expected. 1t
fills the bill. And when it does the work in
less than one-half the time, with less than
half the labor, and such labor as can be
found in almost any family, and with less
than half the wear and tear of clothes as the
process of washing by hand does, all of
which can justly be claimed by the machine
any one can readily see that the Success"
is clear saving TO The average family of two
or three times the price of the machine.
Besides all this, one avoids the bother of a
class of demoralized labor which is found in
the washer-woman of the nineteenth century

them take heed Of their company.
If you want to DO miserable, think
about yourself, about what you want
what you like, what respect people pay
you, and what people think Of you.
To make others wit appear more than
ones own. is good rule in conversation;
q necessary one, to let others take notice
Of your wit, and never do il yourself.
Nothing but frank intercourse with
independent minds, nothing but discus

The leaves that give out the sweetest
