now in use, and capable of performing more work in b
less time and with less damage to the clothes than in,;
other Washing Machine now made.
He claims for this Machine, that it will cleanse tb
clothes from dirt in 15 to 50 minutes and leave them i
tirely clean, ready for boiling and rinsing.
It will do an ordinary day’s washing in ail hour an
docs not wear the clothes more than one-tenth as much ,
when washed by hand.
It is adapted to washing from the finest Muslins to lb
coarsest clothes, Blankets and Carpets.
It can ho worked by women or even a 12 year old boy,
and is so simple in its construction that almost any Lnili
can repair it —if it should ever need it—and will with or
dinary care last from 5 to 10 years.
ffj} - One of the great merits of this Machine in additioi
to the facility in washing—is that the clothes are not in ,
out by washing. By the ordinary process of wasliin. ‘
clothes are more, injured than by wearing. This a<h,;i
tage together with tha fact that it will do ten times lb

CIRCULAR FOR THE FALL OF 1855.
TXTB desire to call the attention of our friends, ami
T V the buyers of Dry Goods throughout tlio West and
Soutli-wcst, to our attractions for the Fall Sales of the
present year.
Our business is now so well organized and arranged,
that we are better able than ever before to supply the
trade with a large and attractive Stock.
Our owh importations will supply our Foreign Depart
ments with all the new and desirable fabrics from the
European markets, selected by one of the House resident
in Europe, and will be particularly adapted to our market.
Our Domestic and Staple Goods Department will he
supplied with all the leading styles of Goods.;
It is, we believe, an acknowledged fact, that our stock
has always been one of the largest and most attractive
in this country; and we also believe the best buyers have
been convinced that our system of short profits and
pay is the most satifactory,
• We invite the attention of all close buyers to our
Large and Attractive Stock—but with the distinct un
derstanding that we sell goods only for cash, or good notes
payable in all cases at Bank.
We shall, from this date forward, adopt anew plan in
connection with our Domestic Goods department. Wc
shall keep a full and completed assortment of Bleached.
Brown and Colored Cotton Goods, which will be sold only
for nett cash.
Our object in this is to supply the goods as low as they
are sold by cash houses in the Northern cities. In order
to test this feature of our business, we only ask a com
parison of cash prices with time prices, and then we
leave the decision to the purchaser.
From the three years experience since tho establish*
ment of our business, wo are enabled the more confident
ly to invite attention to our Stock and plans for business,
believing that we offer inducements second to no House
in this country.
