culiar 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, hotels and public institutions
proves it to be of lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by rotary motion acting on a crankshaft
(with balance wheel,) which moves tho
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious and most powerful that can be le
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
work with the greatest rapidity and tho
least possiblo labor.
Ihe great speed with which this machine
performs work will bo understood from tho
statement that 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 Safety to the fabrio
washed is insured by tho enure absence of
rubbing.
A girl or boy ot htteen 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 may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.
