THE AMERICAN WAHHKlt RAVKS MONEY, TIME, AND DKUDHKKY. The Fatigue of Washing Day no Longer Dread ed, but Economy, Lnieiency, uud Clean Cloth ing, Sure. , In calllngpuhllc attention to this little machine, a few of the Invaluable nnalitics. (not possessed by any other washing machinu yet Invented.) are. here enumerated. It Is the smallest, most compact, most portable, most simple in const ruct Ion, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours' practice, can thoroughly comprehend and ellcclunlly use It. There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no de lay III adapting I It Is always ready for use ! It is a perfect little wonder! if is a miniature giant, doing more work and of liotter quality, than the most elalHirate and costlv, One unlf of the labor Is fully saved by its use, and the clothes will last one hair longer than by the old plan of the rub board. It will wash the largest blanket, or three shirts at n time, washing thoroughly I In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from a Oulll to a Lace Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally ill the capacity of this LIT 'I I.

No matter how deep rooted n prejudice limy exist against Washing Machines, the moment this little machine Is seen to nerfoimlts wonders, all doubts of Itseleauiiig elllcacy and utility are ban ished, and the doubter and detractor at once be come the fast friends of the machine. We have testimonials without end. setting forth Its numerous advantages over all others, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which have signally failed to accomplish the object promised in prominent and loud sounding advertisements. It Is as perfect for washing as a wringer Is for wringing. 'Die price, another paramount, induce, nient to purchasers, has Im'cii placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, ami there Is no article of domestic economy that w ill repay the small investment so soon. . r . s o .
