The manufacturers claim that the Sherman Wringer ia 
superior to all others for the following reasons: 
1st. It has all the capacity of any Clothes-Wringer, and is 
more Compact , Simple , and Durable than any other 
Wringer. 
2d. The Frame is of nicely Galvanized Iron, and can not 
rusty rot, swell , or shrink. 
31. The Rolls are of Solid White Rubber, and are made 
under Moulton’s Patent, wired on to the shaft, which makes 
them very durable. 
4tli. The Springs are made of Car-Spring Rubber, and 
possess much more elasticity and durability than the Wood 
or Iron Springs commonly useik And these springs are so 
arranged, that it is almost impossible , in any ordinary use, 
to throw the Cog-wheels out of gear. 
5til. It may be applied to any Tub, Washing-Machine, or 
Barrel more readily than any other Wringer. 
Gill. It is warranted, in every particular, to be the Best 
Clothes-Wringer made.

THE PR OTEAM LAfiSCETTE. 
Experience teaches that to secure for an article the favor 
and patronage of the Ladies, it must combine beauty and 
elegance of design, with practical utility. 'Hie favor with 
which our modification of the BUTTON-HOLE CUT¬ 
TER has been received predicts that no Lady’s Work- 
Basket will be regarded as complete without it. It is also 
an admirable Envelope, Leaf, and Paper Knife. 
DIRECTIONS. 
To extend the Lancet, hold the instrument as illustrated 
by the engraving; then, holding it as you would a pen, with 
the cutting edge from you, insert the point (where you wish 
to commence the button-hole) until you are stopped by the 
ange. Be careful not to extend the point too far at first, 
ut cut and try until the hole is a sufficient size to allow the 
button to pass through ; then observe at what point the slide 
is on the scale, that you may be able to retain the size.

DOOLITTLE MANUFACTURING CO., 599 Broadway, New York, 
GUARD AGAINST THE COMING FAMINE! 
FARMERS, be sure and preserve all your surplus fruit crop this year. It 'will be wanted in all the towns and cities of our country next 
■winter, and will bring you a good price. And why so ? Because the general fruit crop itself will be short this season, and the price of fresh fruit 
for canning will necessarily be high, and because tin cans for canning fruits have advanced about fifty per cent in price this spring, which must necessarily 
cause a large advance and high price for canned and preserved fruits next winter, and almost as snrely cause a very short supply. Farmers of the 
interior (having little or no market for their fresh fruit) are urged to make up the full supply—which they can cheaply, reliably, and profitably 
do by using the 
American Fruit-Preserving Powder, 
and thereby keep the fruit in large Eartlicnwarv or Stoneware 
Jars and Wooden Kegs and Blarrels, by simply corking or 
bunging them tight enough for shipment, and they will reliably keep during 
the year round, or longer, or for shipment to any part of our country, or, no 
doubt, to any part of the world. We have kept fruits by this method in 
store during Pour Years without the least fermentation. 
Only two to four or five ounces of sugar required to each pound of fruit, 
to suit the taste, or the fruit will keep just as reliably with less sugar, or 
without any sugar. However, it is always better to add a little sugar at time 
of preserving. 
The EMtESEK.VHl'SCS- P®W©EIt will cost but a trifle for each 
quart of preserved fruit. 
The directions given for using the POWDER are thorough and 
simple—none can possibly mistake them; and the cost and labor of preserv¬ 
ing fruits in Kc-js and BSua-rels by this method is less than one half 
that of the canning or air-tightiug method ; and the fruit when preserved 
Will surely compare favorably with the best canned or preserved fruits, whilst 
many have pronounced them better. 
The PRESERVIIVC- POWDER is warranted as healthful as 
Common Table-Suit. 
If the Fanners and Fruit-Growers of the United States 
will take hold of this method—either separately or by clubbing together— 
and put up their fruit for the market in kegs and barrels, it will find a 
Ready Marlcet and Sale at good prices, and make Millions of 
Dollar* annually to farmers of the United States that is now entirely 
lost. The fruits thus prepared will become a staple in the markets, as Rut¬ 
ter now is in Kegs and Firkins. All the Produce Commis¬ 
sion Merchants of all the large Cities will be glad to aid you in 
the sale of the Fruit thus prepared. 
Every family putting up fruits, etc., for home use should try the PRE¬ 
SERVING PDWBER. It will preserve any and all kinds of fruit, 
etc., at about one half the cost in time, trouble, and expense of the air- 
tighting method, and give the additional advantage of using the fruit as 
wanted from time to time from large jars or vessels. 
Get it from your Grocer. If they have not got it they will get it for 
you. Price ©cae Dollar pea* Package.
