WHAT WE CLAIrI FOR 1T.

We can wash with the machine
a bed quilt in five minutes give
you an hour with your wash board
to do the work as well; 8 to
sheets in two minutes; table
linen and so napkins I to 2
minutes, 20 towels to I on the
washboard. The dirtiest meal or
wheat sack in one-half minute; IS
feet of carpet in three minutes, and
all classes of other goods as fast,
lust in warm suds as prepared for
the wash board; and that it does
not iniure the finest fabric can be
proven by washing 500 green
back bill or piece of paper.
1t will rapidly and thoroughly
clean the dirtiest wristbands, col
lars and cuffs, and the most soiled
hens of skirts, dresses, etc. The
truthfulness of which assertion
many ladies have their opinion
never having seen machine that
would wash such part perfectly ex-
cept the old hand washboard. To
see it for yourself is proof OF the
merit we claim for it.

THE WOOD FOLDING AND AU.
TOMATO SPRING WASHER

has been before the public since
November Q, 1896, and during
which time it has been successful
ly and rapidly introduced into
thousands of houses in the state of
Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas,
California, Oregon, Washington,
Nevada, South Dakota and many
other states by enterprising men
who have engaged in the sale in
these different localities. The
trade is becoming thoroughly es-
tablished. 1t is displacing the
Chinaman in the Golden State.
, Wefe honored and proud of
the fact that we are able to invite
the public attention to the first
successful and only perfect wash
ing machine in the known world.
We are also elated that having
made these broad assertions we
are able to walk right up to the
front and prove every word we say.
However it is a gross absurdity to
reimpress on, the minds of the peo-
pie the utmost demand and the
long standing, ue-extended in
vitation, for this wonderful inven-
ton now being complete, is well
coined by every citizen of the land
and placed in the galaxy of the
crowned stars, its praises being
sung by the women of America,
and the glad refrain waited over
the seas to the women of foreign
lands. There having already been
some three thousand vain efforts
to accomplish the same achieve
ment. Now, together with show
ing you this wonderful invention
in the capacity of its wonderful de-
mand, we have shown you your
fortune which can easily be made
out of state by anyone with limit
ed means to start with, and with
very ordinary talent. There is
more easy money made even in a
coonty than in $751; 900 stock of
dry goods, groceries, or in farm.
The machine is revolutionizing
washing business. 1t is manufac-
