The " Universal " Wringer, 
So long offered as a Premium by the American Ag- 
riculturist, the Rural New-Yorkt r, and othei 
leading Periodicals, still stands unrivaled for Strength 
and Durability. Its sale constantly increases, as those 
who are induced to buy other kinds, which sooner wear out, 
arc sure to get the Universal as their second purchase. 
It is the only Wringer which has 
Roweil's Patent Cogs, 
with long and strong alternate teeth, which can separate 
widely, or crowd closely together, without binding or losing 
their power. 
These are protected by the PATENT STOP, or screw, 
above the cogs, which prevents them from entirely sepa- 
rating, so the 
UNIVERSAL WRINGER 
NEVER PLAYS OUT OF GEAR, 
47,000 
yet the teeth of the Rowell Cogs are so long, the rolls can 
separate far enough to pass the largest article easily. 
Always try a "Wringer before Purchasing, 
and buy none which wilt play out of gear in passing a sheet, 
blanket, or bedqxilt. 
The Universal is sold as low as any other licensed 
wringer, and kept by dealers generally.
