Veneer Fruit ISasketii^. 
It is an established fact that the VENEER FRUIT BAS- 
KET, represented by acconipanving cut. is superior to any 
other contrivance now used by fruit growers for transporting 
aU Mads of small fruit to market. 
It 13 stronger than 
any square box of 
the same weight, be- 
cause being round it 
has no corners, and 
hence no weal; spots 
to be giving out. 
The shape of these 
Baskets is sucb as to 
admit of free circu- 
lation of air among 
them when filled, 
and packed in crates, 
and being open all 
round, the fruit is 
given more tlior- 
ough ventilation, 
consequently keeps 
Its flavor and beauty a much longer time thau if put up in 
tight, or neaiiy ti;::ht, boxes or baskets. * 
Commission Dealers tlirough whose hands nearly all fruits 
reach the consumer, now universally admit tliat In order to 
have berries A-e<?;3 loeil and sell high, they must be put up 
in neat strong baskets, constructed to admit fresh air and 
plenty of it. 
Fruit; Growers who wish to secure fame and money both, 
will consult their best interests by marketing their berries in 
Beeclier's Patent Veneer Fruit Basket.

Clothes and I^abor Savers, 
already the best and most popular in use— to be capable of 
enabling a person to thoroughly cleanse even the dirtiest 
shirts, "streaks" included, without a particle of rubbing, 
without chemicals, with moderate labor, and without danger 
of WEAR OR TEAR.

"It Is worth one dollar per week in any family. After a 
vcar's use, 'our machine' is thought more of to-day than 
ever before."— Solox Eobinsox, Agricultural Editor of 
The yeto York, Tribune. 
Perhaps you will ask how this Washer can clean clothes 
without icearing them. We answer: In using it, your 
clothes have the advantage of being cleansed in suds hot 
and strong enough to dissolve all dirt and grease, hence it has 
only to ri7i.se them out J whereas, in washing by hand, the 
hands cannot be borne m suds so hot and strong, and the 
clothea must necessarily be rubbed and worn to get them 
clean. 
Now can yon not better afford to buy a machine than to 
buy extra clothes that will amount In a single year to more 
than double the price of the machine, and to six, eight, yes, 
ten times its price during the time it will last? How can 
you make a better-paying investment?
