  Chicago 
  Combined 
  Dryer 
  and

  Stove 
  is 
  guaranteed 
  to 
  dry 
  

   clothes

  The 
  

   system 
  of 
  ventilation 
  makes 
  the 
  clothes 
  as 
  pure 
  as 
  though 
  dried 
  in 
  the 
  

   open 
  air, 
  and 
  it 
  will 
  bleach 
  the 
  clothes 
  as 
  perfectly 
  as 
  sunshine. 
  

  

  The 
  Chicago 
  |[ 
  

  

  Dryer 
  ^~~ 
  

  

  consists 
  of 
  a 
  metal 
  cabinet, 
  absolutely- 
  

   fireproof, 
  to 
  which 
  is 
  attached 
  a 
  laun- 
  

   dry 
  stove. 
  The 
  cabinet 
  is 
  equipped 
  

   with 
  sliding 
  racks 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  clothes 
  

   are 
  hung. 
  The 
  stove 
  not 
  only 
  serves 
  

   the 
  purpose 
  of 
  furnishing 
  heat 
  for 
  the 
  

   dryer, 
  but 
  may 
  also 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  boil- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  clothes, 
  heating 
  flatirons, 
  and 
  

   heating 
  water 
  by 
  the 
  waterback 
  sys- 
  

   tem. 
  The

  therefore,

  what 
  is 
  ordinarily-

  Realizing 
  the 
  advantage 
  of 
  an 
  easily 
  accessible 
  drum 
  in 
  machine 
  sanders, 
  we 
  applied 
  

   ourselves 
  to 
  that 
  end, 
  and 
  to-day 
  we 
  offer 
  to 
  the 
  trade 
  a 
  triple 
  drum 
  sander 
  that 
  for 
  

   excellence 
  of 
  work, 
  ease 
  of 
  manipulation 
  and 
  general 
  mechanical 
  perfection 
  cannot 
  be 
  

   equaled. 
  Let 
  us 
  demonstrate 
  to 
  you 
  the 
  above 
  fact; 
  a 
  postal 
  will 
  bring

  particulars.

  The 
  object 
  of 
  all 
  house-painting 
  is 
  to 
  combine 
  these

   ities 
  : 
  The

  that 
  longest 
  protects 
  a 
  building 
  at 
  the 
  lowest 
  

   average 
  cost 
  per 
  annum 
  affords 
  the 
  most 
  efficient 
  and 
  econom- 
  

   ical 
  protection; 
  that 
  which 
  yields 
  the 
  purest 
  and 
  most 
  lasting 
  

   tints 
  is 
  the 
  most 
  beautiful.

  in

  increases 
  

   its 
  protective 
  efficiency, 
  decreases 
  its

  and 
  enhances 
  the 
  

   purity,
