[June, 
DIALOGUE. 
Extract front Report of Farmers* Club, 
WILLIAM D. OSBORN.-"Will the 
Club give us its opinion of Wash- 
ing-machines? Is it economy to 
pay fourteen dollars for one of 
Doty's machines? Washing-ma- 
chines have so generally proved 
to be failures that I am afraid of 
throwing away my money upon 
one." 
SOLON ROBINSON.-" If you had 
to pay ten times the money you 
mention, it would be the best in- 
vestment you ever made upon your 
farm. But you must not have that 
alone. Get tho Universal Clothes- 
Wringer with it, and your wife and 
children will rise up and call you 
blessed, for they will find washing 
made easy." . 
The following testimonials have been given : 
"We like our machine much ; could not be 
persuaded to do without it, and with Vie aid 
of I)ot>/, we feel that tee are masters of the 
position."— REV. BISHOP SCOTT, M. E. 
CHURCH. 
" It is worth one dollar per week in any • 
family N. Y. TRIBUNE. 
" I give it the most unqualified praise, and 
pronounce it an indispensable part of the 
machine,-,/ of housekeeping,"— REV. HEN- 
RY WARD BEEClIER. 
"In the laundry of my house there is a 
perpetual thanksgiving tin Kondays far the 
invention of your excellent WRINGER."— 
REV. THEODORE i. CUYLER. 
" Every week has given it a stronger hold 
upon the affections of the inmates of the 
laundry."— NSW YORK OBSERVER. 
BOTH THESE MACHINES HAVE HECENTLY 
BEEN GKEATLY IMPROVED. 
You may prove the above state- 
ments true by sending the retail 
price: Washer, $14; Extra Cog- 
wheel Wringer, $9; and we will 
forward to places where no one 
is selling, either or both, free of 
charges. If, after a trial of one 
month, you are not entirely satis- 
fied, we will REFUND THE MONEY 
on the return of the machines.

FAMILY DYE COLORS, 
CAUTION. 
All persons who keep Howe & Stevens' Family Dye 
Colors lor sale can he relied on for fair dealing, lor the rea- 
son that they cost the retailer twenty-live cents per dozen 
ninre than other kinds id Dyes in the market, while he re- 
tails them all at the same price ; consequently he makes 
twenty -live ecu is per dozen more hv selling an inferior article. 
We publish this caution to guard our customers again-t 
impoMiion. Accept none but Howe & Stevens" Patent 
Family Dye colors. Thev are the original inventors of 
an improvement -which originated this branch of business 
and made dyeing a domestic art. Thev have had, also, five 
years' experience in this partieular business, and have been 
constantly improving the quality of their Dyes. All the 
enlnrs, bnth m liquid and powder form, are manufactured 
by the undesigned, and we can supply our customers with 
either. 'Die liquids t\<> nut. require so much lime in dveing ; 
but the powder colors will color the most goods, and co-t 
the same per purkage. In coloring I darks, browns and drabs, 
we would advise the use of the powder colors in preference 
to the liquid, unless for ribbons or some very small article.
