BROWK’S
WASHING MACHINE.
riMIE Inventor in introducing his new Rotary Washing
J Machine to tlio notice of the public, does so with tin
confidence that in all cases where a fair trial is given
they will he ns they have been by those who have use.
tlic-m. pronounced to he the best Machine for wasliin,
now in use, and capable of performing more work in la:
less time and with less damage to the clothes than an;
other Washing Machine now made.
He claims for this Machine, that it will cleanse tie
clothes from dirt in 15 to 30 minutes and leave them en
tirely clean, ready for boiling and rinsing.
It will do an ordinary day’s washing in an hour an,
docs not wear the clothes more than one-tenth as much i:
when washed hy hand.
It is adapted to washing from the finest Muslins toth,
coarsest clothes. Blankets and Carpets.
It can be worked by women or even a 12 year old boy.
and is so simple in its construction that almost any lied;
can repair it —if it should ever need it—and will with „
dinary care last from 5 to 10 years.
Ifij ■ One of tho great merits of this Machine in addition
to the facility in washing—is that the clothes an not m;
out by washing. By tlio ordinary process of wasliii.
clothes are more injured than by wearing. This advat
tage together with tlie fact that it will do ten times tin
work of hand labor, should induce every Hotel, Boardin.
House, and family to have one.
