Tt is a squeezing machine constructed on

perience derived from five years extensive
use in fcmilies, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be or lasting value to the pur

The manner of operating tlie Nonpareil,
by rotary motion acting on a crankshaft
-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
work with tho greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.-
The great speed with which tins machine
performs work will be understood from the
statement that it is geared to give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn of the handle,
or, when worked leisurely, about four nun
dred strokes a minute Safety to the fabric
