Fit, Style, and Workmanship Guaranteed. HUGHO. ORAIGHEAD. Aahbarton, January let, 1887. 12 8 HUSBAND _AND WIFE. Thb Husband. Dear wife, I am weary of seeing You toil every day for your bread, While I am a poor helpless being ; 'Tis often I wish I were dead. You ne'er were accustomed to tciling, Your handa were once white like the snow; While I watch you work night and morning Yonr movements seem wearied and slow. Thk Wii% Dear husband, give over your worry, My work seems like labor, I ween, Bnt I am netfer compelled, dear, to hurry Now I use Ferriman's Washing Machine. It lightens by two-thirds my labors. And makes all my garments so clean, That our clothes are the envy of neighbors Who adore Ferriman's Washing Machine TO THB WIVES AND MOTHERS OF ASHBURTON AND THK GENERAL PUBLIO OF NEW ZEALAND. In presenting to the public of Ashbuiton the marvellous STEAM WASHER, I believe I am conferring a boon of incalculable worth on every wife and mother m thla beautiful land, an whom that most important function of every household devolves, known land hitherto dreaded) as washing clothes of every description. By the use of this Machine, this distasteful and slavish work is entirely relieved of ite drudgery, and made a source of pleasurable exercise. The unequalled qualities which it possesses of thoroughly blrncbiaar the clothes giving them an unparalleled whiteness, and its harmle:B action upon delicate and colored fabrics, render it peculiarly useful and popular. ■J he saving qualities of the Machine ar quite m keeping with its other meritorious features. Any person who will give it a practical teat will be unquestionably convinced that from an ECONOMICAL standpoint it is unsurpassed and unequalled. The consumption of fuel is materially reduced. The saving effected m this item alone will m one year equal the price of the Machine. Ac it only entails tbe consumption of two-thirds the amount of soap u»ed m the ordinary way of washing, this item of economy is self-evident to every person. The greatest saving, however, is effected m the wear and tear of the clothes. Every intelligent individual knows . that tin use of the washboard wears the various fabrics more than anything else, and es the marvellous Pteim Washer renders its use absolutely unnecessary, and thereby obviates almost entirely the necessity for " clothes mending," its saving qualities m thi* particular will be at once apparent and appreciated. Bnt all ltq savin? qualities of a financial character are eclipsed, and dwindle into insignificance, when we take into consideration the frail, delicate, and weakly condition of thousands of wives and mothers who are forced to tax their energies and waste their limited strength m {the old way of washing ; bnt who may, by the use of its magical properties, do the work without any fatigue to their feeble bodies, and with infinite satisfaction and pleasure to their minds. This, more than any desire or expectation on the part of the inventor to make money out of the article, was the prime object he had m view. From the marvellous results obtained from its use, however, and the unbounded and enthusiastic commendations from everyone having used it since its introduction to the public, as the annexed list of names of persons wh? have purchased tho machine and are willing to testify to its merits, will folly attest, the advertiser has deemed it wiso, m ordsr to place this incomparable article of household uee more prominently before the intelligent (people of the district, to Rive the postal address of a few of the buyers, m order that an and entirely impartial opinion of its intrinsic value, may be readily obtained by anyone desirous of getting such information from actual users and purclneere, who will undoubtedly be best calculated to give a jnat estimate of its value. « Mrs Herbert, Seafield Mr M.
