“Get the Best!!” 
“ Uniyersal ” Wringer, 
So long offered as a Premium by the American Ag¬ 
riculturist, tlie Rural New-Yorker, and other 
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, 
are sure to get the Universal as their second purchase. 
It is tlie only’Wringer which lias 
Rowell’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 tlie 
UNIVERSAL WRINGER 
NEVER PLAYS OUT OF GEAR, 
yet the teetli of tlie Rowell Cogs are so long, the rolls can 
separate far enougli to pass tlie largest article easily. 
Always try a Wringer before Purchasing, 
and buy none which will play out of year in passing a sheet, 
blanket, or bedquilt. 
The Universal is sold as low as any other licensed 
wringer, and kept by dealers generally.
