LARGE CAPACITY, GREAT Strcgnth
and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, are qualities pe.
culiar to the
Konpareil "Washing Ma
-chine. .
It is a squeeting ' machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and tire ex
perience derived from five vears extensive
"use inTcmiHes, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be or lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by rolary Motion acting on a crank shaft
(with balance wheel,) which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious and most powerful that can be de
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
"workwifh fhe greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor. ,
: - The great speed with' which this machine
performs work will be understood from the
Btatementthat it is geared to give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred strokes a minute Safety to the fabric
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubMtrg.
A girl or boy of fifteen can work the ma.
chine, and do a week's Washing for a family
of six or eight persons in two to three hours'
time; and it maybe relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, i without assistance
from hand rubbing. -
