T ARGE CAPACITY, GREAT Stregnth
I 1 and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, are qualities pe.
cuuar to the
Nonpareil Washing Ma-
It is a squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the ex
perience derived from five years extensive
use in fcmilies, holds and public institutions
proves it to be of lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner of operating tho Nonpareil,
by rotary motion acting on a crankshaft
(with balance wheel,) which moves the
plungers alternately, is tho simplest, least
laborious and most powerful that can be de
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
work with the greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
Btatemcntthat it is geared to give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn ot the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes a minute Safely to the fabric
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubbing.
A girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma
chine, and do a week's washing for a family
of Bix or eight persons in two to three hours'
time ; and it may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.
