The Steel Springs are wound with fine

which will not wear off or become soiled,
and the whole skirt may be woshed without

The Combination Silver Skirt
This invention combines with the ordina
ry Skirt the advantages or our Silver Skirt
the bottom hoops are the same as those us
ed in tho Silver Skirt, the covering of which
cannot wear off, while the upper ones ara
covered with cotton. No lady having once
worn one of our Skirts, will be willing to
wear any other, as the lower hoops of all
other kinds are soon injured and soileed.
The oet ninteeials are used in their con
struct in, and, from their durability and
ncatisis bey are destined to become a
I'avorito Skirt.

LARGE CAPACITY, GREAT Btregnth
and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, are qualities pe.
culiar to the
Nonpareil Washing Ma
chine. It is a squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the es
perience derived from five years extensive
use in families, 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 the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious and most powerful that ean 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
statement that 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 tc the fabris
washed is insured by the entire absence of
rubbing,
A girl or boy of fifteen ean work the ma.
chine, and do a week's washing for a family
of six or eight persons ia two to three hours'
time; and it may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.
Send for free Descriptive Circular and
terms tc dealers, to whom exolusive right
of sale is secured.
