THE GUIDE TO NATURE— ADVERTISEMENTS 
[This advertisement was written by the editor of this magazine after careful inves- 
tigation of the merits of The Mermaid Dish Washing Machine sold by The Connecticut 
Light and Power Company, Greenwich, Conn.] 
THE MERMAID MAKES DISH WASHING A DELIGHT 
Among the most meritorious of labor saving inventions is the modern 
Dish Washing Machine, and of these the Mermaid appears to be the most 
satisfactory. With it the drudgery of dish washing for a family of four three 
times a day is reduced, by actual experience, to six minutes each time, and 
this is allowing one minute for draining off the water. 
The machine is well and strongly made, the motor is powerful, and the 
result of the work is satisfactory. 
With it dish washing ceases to be a household nuisance and becomes a 
pleasure. 
These assertions are made, not by the manufacturer nor by an agent, but 
by a disinterested investigator who studied various makes in stores in three 
cities and in actual use in hotels and restaurants in New York City. 
We have used the machine three times a day for several weeks, and know 
whereof we speak. 
The Mermaid is certainly the best made dish washer of moderate price 
now in the market.
