Great Household Helps. 
Clothes Washer and Wringer. 
LASH'S $5 WASHER. 
The originator of 
LASH'S $5 WASHER 
has invented several Washers, which have acquired great 
popularity ; but he regards bis 
$5 "WASHER 
as the best of all, and believes that it will have a popularity 
far exceeding that of any other Washer yet offered to tho 
public. 
It certainly bids fan- to be brought into as general requisi- 
tion as the wash tub, and to be indispensable in every house- 
hold. 
Ihirteen reaso?is ichy everybody should have 
LASH'S $5 WASHER. 
1. It Is the best. 
2. It is the cheapest. 
3. It is not liable to get out of order. 
4. It does not give any annoyance from leakage. 
5. It is durable. 
6. It does its work thoroughly. 
7. It does not injure the clothes. 
S. It is easily worked. 
9. It will wash in one-fourth the time required by hand. 
10. No other Washer is offered on such favorable terms. 
11. There isno risk in buying it, on the conditions it is offered. 
12. It is every way economical— more than paying for itself 
every three months, in a family of medium size, in 
the 6aving of soap, labor, time and clothes. 
13. It is sure to please and give entire satisfaction. 
Confident that every washer we send out will prove a 
*' Household blessing," and create a demand for others, wo 
are Induced to offer them, for a lighted tisie, on the follow- 
ing most liberal terms: 
For $5 we will deliver a Washer 
FREE OF OHLAJR&E, 
at any designated point in the country, where there are facil- 
ities for transportation, either by Express or as ordinary 
freight. 
We will also 
GUARANTEE ITS SAFE CARRIAGE, 
aud should it not give satisfaction, will 
REFUND THE MONEY 
on its return to our House in Philadelphia. 
THE LASH WRINGER, 
we believe to be the most complete Wringer now in use. It 
combines all the excellences of other Wringers, and has, in 
addition, a most valuable improvement just patented, and 
secured to our Wringer exclusively. 
With entire confidence in its merits we offer this Wringer 
for §9, and on the same conditions we offer the Washer— de- 
livering IT FKEE OF EXPENSE— GUARANTEEING ITS SAFE 
carriage, and binding ourselves to refund tee money, if 
it does not give entire satisfaction, on its return to our House 
in Philadelphia. Never before were such inducements offer- 
ed the people throughout the country, to possess themselves 
of so complete a Washer and Wringer. 
We prefer selling them together, but will iurnish tliem 
separately on the receipt of 
$5 FOR THE WASHER, 
$9 FOR THE WRINGER. 
Orders will be filled in rotation as received.

able terms.
