Looks like a 

 WARDROBE, 

 doesn't it ? 



It's intended to 

 look that way; 

 that's why it's 

 cased in handsome 

 polished quartered "S 

 oak. 1^ -Sfe:^ 



r.UT 



IT'S A 

 BATH-TUB, 



(folding, oE 

 course). 



The tub is pivot<'d about two-thirds of 

 the way down, and so perfectly balanced 

 that any one can easily let it down, or 

 raise it back to close it. At the top of 

 the front of the closed tub you will 

 notice two little ornamental carvings or 

 embossments, tipped with fancy brass; 

 they are the ends of the legs. When 

 you let down the tub, they slide out into 

 position to support it and lock them- 

 selves automatically. 



Bee-keepers mostly live in 

 country houses, 



where there is no city water supply, and 

 this tub is intended for the family which 

 must be independent of the plumber. 

 There is a convenient device for empty- 

 ing the tub, either into pails or through 

 a waste-pipe. 



We have only a few of these tubs left; 

 we warrant them to be made in the most 

 perfect and substantial manner possible; 

 an ornament (when closed) to the most 

 elegantly furnished room ; and, as we 

 wish to clear them out to make room for 

 a different line of articles, we offer them 

 at the extremely low price of $18. OO 

 each, which is below what they could 

 now be built for. 



We Gu.vrantee that any one buying 



one of these tubs will be satisfied. Wo 

 are reliable and to be trusted; our busi- 

 ness standing and reputation is worth 

 much more to us than very many times 

 .^18.00; so when we make a statement 

 you can believe us. Particulars cheer- 

 fully furnished.
