Quite a Crowd Was Gathered

Quite Crowd Was Gathered
BEFORE the Howard street win
- dow of Burgess Granden, Fiji
teenth and Howard, the other
morning, and upon pushing my way
to the front, there was a most fas-
clnatlng demonstration of the new
Locomotive Washer. The foamy
white soapsuds was being washed
back and forth in a way most SUR
prlsing, and right in the water a
light bulb showed the agitation of
the water. For. my dears, this is
the washer that washes by agitati
only, no machinery being used on
the clothes. Hotter water is used
than can be used in the old fash
Toned washing, kept hot by an oil
or gas burner underneath. Quite
an advantage, this, as Polly's friends
throughout the state, in towns where
there is no gas, will testify. There's
a most efficient swing ringer, and
the tub may be either galvanized
iron or copper. just as milady's
preference dictates. Simplicity it.
