LETTER FROM MRS. HENRY WARD BEECHER, IN 1861. 
I am most happy .o speak in the very highest terms of the 
Universal Clothes V -inger. The hardest part of “ washing- 
day ” work is, in my oinion, the wringing; and the inventor 
of this machine may nave the satisfaction of feeling that he 
has changed one of the most toilsome parts of woman’s 
work into a very attractive amusement. The laundress looks 
upon It as a great blessing. I could hardly express my ap¬ 
probation of them more highly than I have by ordering one 
In these hard times, for my daughter. I look upon It as 
among the most useful articles in her house. 
Mbs. HENRY WARD BEECHER. 
Brooklyn, Oct., 1861. 
IN 1864. 
After a constant use of the Universal Clothes Wringer, for 
more than four years, in my family, I am authorized by the 
« powers that be " to give it the most unqualified praise, and 
to pronounce it an indispensable part of the machinery of 
housekeeping. Our servants have always been willing to 
use it, and always have liked it. 
Brooklyn, Jan. 25,1864. HENRY WARD BEECHER. 
FROM LOYEJOY’S HOTEL, NEW YORK. 
The Universal Clothes Wringer is the first Wringer that I 
have found that would stand the service required of it. I 
had already “ used up” one or more of every other kind I 
could get. The rolls of all would twist and work loose after 
a short time using, and, of course, became worthless. 
We have run the “ Universal constantly ” for about twen¬ 
ty months and it is still in active service.

LETTER FROM ORANGE JUDD, ESQ. 
Gentlemen You request my views with regard to the 
Universal Clothes Wringer. In reply, I hand you below 
what I said in my paper, some two years ago, adding, that 
since that time my wife and servants have become more and 
more attached to the Wringer. They would as soon think of 
washing without a tub as without it. 
Very respectfully, 
New York, Feb., 1864. ORANGE JUDD. 
From the American Agriculturist. 
From several years’ experience with it in our own fami¬ 
ly ; from the testimony of hundreds who have used it; and 
from the construction'of the implement itself—we feel cer¬ 
tain that it is worthy a place in every family. A child can 
readily wring out a tubful of clothes in a few minutes. It is, 
in reality, a Clothes Saver! a Time Saver! and a Strength 
Saver! We think the machine more than pays for itself 
every year in the saving of garments! There are several 
kinds, nearly alike in general construction ; hut we consider 
it important that the Wringer be fitted with Cogs, otherwise 
a mass of garments may clog the rollers, and the rollers 
upon the crank-shaft slip, and tear the clothes. Our own is 
one of the first made, and it is as good as new, after nearly 
Four Years’ constant use.” 
We have eight sizes, from $5.50 to $33. The ordinary family 
sizes are No. 1, $10, and No. 2, $7. These have 
COG-WHEELS. 
Our cheap sizes (No. 2J4 and 3,) have small rolls which do 
not admit of COGS. All others are Warranted in every 
particular. 
This means, especially, that after a few months’ use, the 
lower roll 
Will not Twist on tl»e Shaft, 
On receipt of the price, from places where no one is sel¬ 
ling, we will send the U. C. W., feck, of expense. What we 
especially want is a good 
in every town. We offer liberal Inducements, and guaran¬ 
tee the exclusive sale, R. 0. BROWNING, Agent,

STRENGTH, SONOROUSNESS, and DURABILITY OF

of the Agriculturist the 
merits of this valuable In. 
strument. Having enlarged 
our facilities for manufac¬ 
turing we are enabled to 
meet promptly the very 
rapidly increasing demand 
for these Barometers at a 
small advance upon former 
prices. Circulars giving 
full particulars sent free on 
application by mail. In¬ 
stances have occurred, 
where farmers have saved 
hundreds of dollars annu¬ 
ally by its use, often more 
than its cost in a single In¬ 
stance, and scientific men 
have estimated a total sav¬ 
ing of FIVE PER CENT. On 
all crops by the use of a 
reliable Barometer to fore¬ 
tell impending changes in 
the weather. 
Four years’ experience 
has incontestibly proved 
this to he the most reliable, 
durable, cheapest, and only 
portable Barometer. In¬ 
dependently of its practical 
value, It is well worth its 
cost as an ornamental ar¬ 
ticle of furniture. 
“We recommend It above 
all others for general use.”

ical portable Barometer.”--

“ Were we a farmer we would pay $100 for a Barometer 
rather than not have one, or curtail food and clothing till 
we could buy one. Mr. Wilder’s are the best In the market, 
and very cheap.”—Mother’s Journal.

entirely reliable machine In existence. It is a squeezing ma¬ 
chine, operated by a balance-wheel and crank, and possesses

washing. It is intended to he of permanent utility in the 
household, taking rank with the Sewing Machine, is not got 
up with the view of selling State or County rights; and in 
order to insure completeness of construction in keeping with 
Its superior merits in other respects, it Is made only Dy the
