It is an established fact tliat tlie VENEER FRUIT BAS¬ 
KET, represented by accompanying cut. is superior to any 
other contrivance now used bv fruit growers for transporting 
all kinds of small fruit to market. 
It is stronger than 
any square box of 
the same weight, be¬ 
cause being round it 
has no corners, and' 
hence no weak spots 
to be giving out. 
The shape of these 
Baskets is such as to 
admit of free circu¬ 
lation of air among 
__ them when filled, 
rg::! and packed in crates, 
and being open all 
round, the fruit is 
given more tlior- 
ough ventilation, 
, ^ consequently keeps 
its flavor and beauty a much longer time than if put up in 
tight, or nearly tight, boxes or baskets. 
Commission Dealers through whose hands nearly all fruits 
reach the consumer, now universally admit that in order to 
have berries keep well and sell high, they must be put up 
in neat strong baskets, constructed to admit fresh air and 
plenty of it. 
Fruit Growers who wish to secure fame and money both, 
will consult their best interests by marketing their berries in 
Bcechex-’s Patciit Veneer P’rait Basket. 
Baskets and Crates can be had of 'Wm. H. Carpenter, 90 
Vesey-st., N. T., C. B. Rogers, 133 Market st., Philadelphia,

This Wringer has again taken the FinsT pr.Einuji in the 
Great Fair of the Aiiieric.an Institute—it has also taken the 
FIRST PREMIUM at the State Fairs of Kew-York^Vermont, 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinoi.s, Kentucky, 
Iowa, Wisconsin, Connecticut River Valley B'air, Champlam 
Valley F.air, and at most of the Countv and Institute Fairs 
throughout the country. Over 200,000 Diave been sold, and

one that was not liked. 
The Universal is superior to all other Wringers, in hav¬ 
ing large rolls of solid India Rubber, so protected by strong 
cbo-wHEKLS that they cannot slip or break loose from the 
shaft. Its strong wood frame cannot be broken, and does 
not rust or soil the clothes. Every Universal Wringer is 
WARRANTED. 
We select a few testimonials from persons widely known 
to the public, who speak from actual experience, and are 
above suspicion of misstatement. 
“My family would as soon give up the cooking-stove as 
this Clothes Wringer. It cannot be too highly recom¬ 
mended.”— [Solon Robinson. 
“After a constant use of the Univf.rsal Clothes Wring¬ 
er for more than four years In my family, I am anihorized 
by the ‘powers that be’ to give it the most unqualified praise, 
and tp pronounce it an indispensable part of the macliinery 
of housekeeping.”—[Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. 
“ This is the first Wringer I have found that would stand 
the service required of it.”—J. F. Huggins, Lovejoy’s Hotel. 
“ We think the Machine much more than pats for itself 
EVERY YEAR IN THE s.AViNG OF GARMENTS. ‘ We tlilnk it im¬ 
portant the Wringer should be fitted with COGS.”— [Orange 
J UDD, Editor of American Agriculturist. 
“ I heartily commend it to economists of time, money and 
contentment.”-[The Rev. Dr. Bellows.

WitiMJiit Ktifebisi^ I 
The Proprietors are happy to announce that their late 
Improvements and the discovery of a more efficient process 
of washing, enable them now to warrant their great 
- €l©tla©s and fjatoor ^jwers, 
already the best and most popular In use—to be capable of 
enabling a person to thoroughly cleanse even the dirtiest 
shirts, "streaks" included, without a particle of rubbing, 
without chemicals, with moderate labor, and without danger 
of WEAR OR TEAR. 
Exclusive of heating suds, wringing, rinsing, etc., a week’s 
washing for a family of six nersbns mav be done with our 
Family Size Washer m HALF AN HOUR! 
The DOTY Washer took the FIRST PRE¬ 
MIUM, a large Silver Medal, at the great

.“It is worth one dollar per week in any family. After a 
ye.ar’s use, ‘our machine’ is thought more of to-day than 
ever before.”— Solon Robinson, Agricultural Editor of 
The New York Tribune. 
Perhaps you will ask how this Washer can clean clothes 
without wearing them. W'e answer: In using it, your 
clothes have the advantage of being cleansed in suds hot 
and strong enough to dissolve all dirt and grease, lienee it has 
only to rinse them out: whereas, in washing by hand, the 
lian'ds cannot be borne in suds so hot and strong, and the 
clothes must necessarily be rubbed and worn to get tliem 
clean. 
Now c.an von not better aff'ord to buy a machine than to 
buy extra clotlies that will amount in a single year to more 
than double the price of the machine,'and to six, eight, yes, 
ten times its price during the time it will last? How con 
you make a better-paying investment?
