7he Washing Problem solved.

The chief argument used by the ladies against the removal of the Chinamen is the difficulty of getting washing done. The force of this argument has been re- moved by modern invention--the "Lit. tie Joker" washing machine. This ma. chine is light, simple, cheap and durable. A child, or a weakly woman, can work it. It saves more than two-thirds of the time and three. .fourths of the labor. I, washes clean and saves wear of clothes Call and inspect it.
