IN retiring from the Tailoring Business so long and successfully carried on by I me under tbe style of CrAighe<td and Co.

Fit, Style, and Woekmakbhip Guaranteed. HUGHC ORAIGHEAD. Ashbnrton, January Ist, 1887. 12 HUSBAND AND WIFE. The Husband. Dear wife. I am weary of seeing You toil every day for your bread, While I am a poor helpless being ; 'Tie often I wish I were dead. You ne'er were accustomed to toiling, Your hands were once white like tie snow; While I watch you work night and morning Yonr movements seem wearied aud slow. The Wife. Dear husband, give over yonr worry, My work bgcidb like labor, I ween, But I am never, compelled, dear, to hurry Now I use Feniman's Washing Machine. It lightens by two-thirds my labors. And makeß all my garments bo clean, That our clothes are the onvy of neighbors Who adore Ferriman's Washing Machine TO THE WIVES"~AND MOTHERS OF ASHBURTON AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC OF NEW ZEALAND. In presenting to the public of ABhbuiton the marvellous STEAM WASHER, I believe I am confer r ing a boon of incalculable worth on every wife and mother m this beautifa 1 land, an whom that most important function of every household devolve*, known (and hitherto dreaded) as washing clothes of every description. By the use of this Machine, this dißtaetefal and slavish work is entirely relieved of its drudgery, and mode a source of pleasurable ozerciso. The unequalled qualities which it possesEea of thoroughly blracbing the clothes giving them an unparalleled whiteness, and its haimlotß action npon delicate and colored fabrics, render it peculiarly ngefal and popular. The caving qualities of the Machine quite m keeping with its other meritorious features. Any person who will give it a practical teat will be unquestionably convinced -tnstirom flniSJoiNumiUAij minapoitm it xr unsurpassed and uneqnalled. The consumption of fuel is materially reduced. The saving effected m this item alone will m one year equal the price of the Machine. As it only entails tbe consumption of two-thirds the amount of soap a<ed m the ordinary way of washing, this item of economy is self-evident to every person. Ths greatest saving, however, is effected m the wear and tear of the clothes. Every intelligent individual knows that ths use of the washboard wears the various fabrics more than anything else, and cs th« marvellous P teAm Waeher renders its uea absolutely unnecessary, and thereby obviates almost entirety the necessity for " clothes mending," its saving qualities m thiq particular will be at once apparent asd appreciated. But all ita 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 Jtke old way of washing ; but 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 o the article, was the prime object he had m view. From the marvellous resnlts obtained from its use, hewever, and the unbounded and enthusiastic commendations from everyone having need it since its introduction to the public, as annexed list of names of persons who have purchased the machino ana are willing to testify to its merits, will folly attest, the advertiser has deemed it wise, m order to place incomparable article of household use more prominently, before the intelligent people of the district, t* pive the postal address of a few of the buyers, m order that an unprejudiced and entirely mpartial opinion of its intrinsic valuo,' may. be readily obtained by anyone desirous of getting Buch information from actual users and purchasers, who will undoubtedly be best calculated to give a jast estimate of its value.
