What We Claim For 1t.

We can wash with this machine bed
quilt in minutes-give you an hour
with your washboard to do the work
as we'll; to sheets in 8 minutes; l
table linen and so napkins to min
utes; 20 towels to your one on the wash
board. The dirtiest meal or wheat
sack in one-half minute; Is feet carpet
In 8 minutes, and all classes OF other
goods as fast, just in warm suds as pre-
pared or the wash board; and that it
does not injure the finest fabric can be
proven by washing a 800 greenback or
piece OF paper.
1t will rapidly and thoroughly cleanse
the dirtiest wristbands, collars, cuffs
and the most soiled hens of skirts,
dresses, etc. The truthfulness Of which
assertion many ladies have their opin-
ion-never having seen a machine that
would wash such parts perfectly except
the old hand washboard. To see ii
yourself is proof of the merit claimed
for it.

He has been selling Woods Automatic

we should have been advised OF it; as

The Automatic Washer,

The Wood Folding Automatic Spring.
Washer has been before the public
since November 0, 1886, during which
time 1t has been successfully and rapid
ly introduced into thousands Of houses
in the states of Iowa, Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Texas, California, Oregon, Washington,
Nevada, South Dakota and many other
places by enterprsing men who have
engaged in the sale in these different
localities. The trade is becoming thor
oughly established. 1t is displacing
the Cinnamon in the Golden State.
We feel honored and proud OF the
fact that we are able to invite public
attention to the first successful and only
perfect washing machine in the known
world. We are also elated to know
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 gross absurdity to re-
impress upon the minds Of the people
the utmost demand and long standing,
wide extended invitation, for this won
derful invention now being complete,
is welcomed by every citizen of the land
and placed in the galaxy Of the crowned
stars, its praises are being sung by the
women of America, and the glad refrain
waited over the sea to the women OF
foreign lands, there having already
been some three thousand vain efforts
TO accomplish the same achievement.
Now, together with showing you this
perfect invention in the capacity of its
wonderful demand we have shown you
your fortune, which can easily be made
out of a state by anyone with limited
means to start with, and with very Or
dinary talent. There is more easy
money even in county than in a S., 900

At a public exhibition on the streets
of Reynoldsville we saw the Folding
Automatic Spring Washer put to the
severest tests and think it excels any
washer we ever saw. We saw lot Of
dirty clothing washed-and washed
clean-in very short time. A horse
blanket was washed clean in ten seconds,
and to prove that the machine would
wash goods without harm, $4,000 bill
was placed in the machine and washed
clean without harm to the bill.
Mr.. Hartwick, the agent, claims that
the machine will pay for itself in a
short time In the saving OF goods, which
we have every reason to believe is true.
We know this machine will wash collars
and wrist bands as well as can be done
with the hands and washboard.
