Year: 1859

TNHIS wonderful Machine is remarkable for the


i following properties which it is warranted to
possess. 1t does not wear the clothes, and never
breaks button 1t cleanses thoroughly the most
delicate clothing, and rinses clear. 1t is very SIM
ple very strong and durable, and can hardly get
out of repair 1t is light and portable, and when
Tot in use takes more room than the common
wash tubs. A common hand can with ease and
perfect safety to the clothing. wash faster and bet
ter than four washerwomen can by hand.


This machine has been greatly improved since
1858, and is now perfect. 1t nov operates much
more easily, and weighs only between GO and 20
pounds, all put up, and when taken down-whch
can be done in one fourth of q minutes SO light
that child l2- years of age can move it about


Almost all the certificates / have received are
from persons who had not the benefit of the i'm
proved pounder when they gave their certificates


From all l can judge myself, and from the opin-
this machine nearly two years, believe the saving
n wear TO the cloth over any other process of
washing, is, at Least so per year in every family
of six persons. and in that proportion and in
families it is rnueh than in that proportion.


Why all other Machines Fail


is because they rub only the surfaces of the cloth,
taking it for granted that the clothes soiled
ly upon the surface, and that the dirt iast be rub
5cd off one would clean q board.


Washing By Hand IS Wrong.


because the rubbing of the surface of the cloth is
h
as well as a great injury to the fabric


OBSERVE that the cloth soiled is ALWAYS soiled
through and through and that it cannot Ge cleans
ed without being washed through and through


The Reason uhy the Metropolitan Succeeds
is because it forces the water powerfully through
the fabric, between the pestles and the action OF
the water displaced by the pounder carries the
clothes from the outside to the centre of the tub
presenting continuous fresh surface of clothes to
the action of the FOUNDER, thus washing every
portion of the clothes thoroughly and equally
No Buttons can be Broken


because the spiral springs upon the small pestles
relieve the least unequal pressure perfectly that
glass vials of good strength, silver thmhles lead
pencils and the like, have been in clothes That were
pounded out thoroughly, without being injured
Without these spiral springs the cloth would be
destroyed and all the buttons broken. The side
springs combine


The Bo~ and Irrow Principle,


upon the same principle assist in throwing it down
giving an immense power TO the operation SO that
with the thumb and finger, person accustomed
to ITS use, can give heavier blow than she could
with both hand with the FOUNDER unshipped. With
the old spring pole so often used over the pound
ing barrel, no one could guide this heavy pOunder
as the end of the pcle describes the Of acrcle

is such that the most filthy horse blanket or the
dirtiest carpet is thoroughly cleansed without much
| fatigue to the operator.


The Skill required to Operate II


is more than is required to sweep we'll to kneal
bread well, to make beds well, or to wash dishes
well nor one fourth much as is necessary to
learn the use of the axe scythe, augur, hoe spade
and shovel; and who would think of letting man
condemn these tools, and work like the savage be-
I H. l..
of them? When men don't know the use of these
implements we teach them, and Of them is
more valuable than this WASHING MACHINE.
Tke Time Repaired to Learn to usea
varies from one to four weeks nearly all do very
well the second washing. Very many work it
finely during the first operation, while some per-
sons require four or five washings to work lit with
ease. A failure has never occurred where a fair
trial of four weeks has been given. With the i'm
proved machine persons will require more than two
trials to work it easily, if the directions which
are simple, are observed.


TIE Time and Labor .Sdred
is rAore than one-h half Washings which require
all day by hand, are by this Machine generally
done in less than one-haf a day. The clean
sing process is done in one fourth the time The
cleansing, rinsing and wringng and hanging out
taken together, require less than onehalf the time
and no person can possibly rinse as well by hand
as with this Machine. Very many persons saw
that the Machine is worth its cost for rinsinr
alone


The Durability Of this Machine
is very great. I don't why it should not last
ten or twenty years, with only repairs of poun
der and rope. which would be very trifing The
whole cost Of repairs upon all the several hund
red machines have sold in the last two wears
taken together, don't amount to two dollars and
many OF them have been in constant use in large
families
