In reply to the question, “How Long will it Last?" 
we can only say, “As long as a wash-tub, cooking-stove, or 
any other family utensil.” See testimony of Orange Judd. 
“ We think the machine much more than PAY'S FOR IT¬ 
SELF EVERY YEAR in the saving of garments ! We con¬ 
sider it important that tlie Wringer be fitted with Cogs, oth¬ 
erwise a mass of garments may clog the rollers, and the roll¬ 
ers upon the crank-shaft slip and tear the clothes, or the 
rubber break loose from the shaft. Our own is one of the 
first made, and it is as GOOD AS NEW after nearly FOUR 
YEARS’ CONSTANT USE.” 
They are for sale in nearly every town in the country. 
Wherever they are not already introduced We want a
