SINCLAIR SUPERIOR WASHER DESCRIBED,

| for twice its cost" And such are
only few of the many express
sions we have in its favor. Evil
IDENTIFY it is practical as we shall
see further in the pointers that
follow. And why should there
not be great advance in ma
chinery designed for washing our
garments, as we'll as other ma
chinery ? That the labor of
wash-day has usually been too
burdensome is a fact that every
housewife must admit. Wash
day" says Mrs. C. ceases to be
a dread since l have been using
the Sinclair Washer. 1t lightens
the burdens. l have done a big
washing today in half the usual
time and do not feel much tired"
2. The Sinclair Superior Wash
er does clean UOrk. In this re-
spect it is surpassed by none. 1t
takes all the dirt out and what
more can be asked. And when
we remember that this is with
half the usual effort, we see no
reason why every family should
not have one. And it is a fact
worthy of note, that many who
had new washers of other makes
have set them aside or disposed
of them in some way, and paid
ten dollars for the Sinclair on be-
coming acquainted with it and its
advantages as washer.
3 The Sinclair Superior Wash
er is not hard on clothing as
other machines usually are. In
the extraction of dirt it applies
only the heavy pressure prin-
ciple without rubbing. While
other machines apply the pres
sure principle they also apply the
friction, which injuries the cloth
ing more than all the wear and
tear of the garments as worn on
the person. That is other ma
chimes apply both pressure and
friction; the Sinclair, the pres
sure only; and let it be remem-
bered that it is the friction that
impairs the garment, and that
without this, or in the absence
of friction, there is scarcely no
destruction of clothing in wash
ing. The Sinclair is constructed
to meet this demand; and our
readers will understand the great
advantage when they remember
that wash goods suffer not less
than siXty-fve per cent. as re-
suit of the old methods of wash
ing on the friction machines.
That is, clothing will last more
than twice as long, if not injured
by the action of friction in wash
ing. That the Sinclair is with
out the friction, you may know
when twenty dollar bill is laid
on the clothes and passed through
the machine repeatedly without
injury; and this is frequently
done by Mr.. Sinclair and his
agents in their exhibitions of this
special quality of his machine;
and he certainly would not do
this if there was any danger in
the experiment.
We think we are safe in saying
that the Sinclair Washer in large
families will save more than
twice its cost in the wear and
tear of clothing in a year. 1t is
nothing strange therefore, that
persons even with new machines
of other makes, will In some cas-
es, lay them aside and then pay
ten dollars for the Sinclair. It
is economy to do so and it is done
in not a few instances. The
wealthy do it because they recog-
nize in this a profitable invest
ment; and the poor do it because
they see here a chance to save
money-more than the cost of
the machine in a few months.
This is a progressive age, and it
certainly is not wise to put up
with things as they were in the
days of our grandfathers. We
purchased a Sinclair Superior
Washer and knowing we have a
good thing, we are inclined to
tell it.
4. 1t is a Sdring of time. 1t is
a fact generally admitted by
those familiar with the machine,
the Sinclair Washer will run off
an equal amount of clothing in
less than half the time consumed
by other machines. We will not
stop to argue this question but
