The Sunbeam Washing Mach i ne Outshines all Competitors and is a Favor Ite at Sight M F ACTURED BY THE COATES MANUFACTURING CO The progress made in labor-saving machinery for the washing, wringing, and ironing of clothing within the past few years is indeed something wonder I ful. Improvement in one branch of the above mentioned machinery has always been attended with corresponding advance in others: thus impressing one that a few’ more years, and the washboard will be*a thing of the past. Indeed the tedious and laborious work of washing by 1 and is fast disappearing, and a very short time, at most, and it will have had its day. Among the latest and most satisfactory inventions in this line is the Sunbeam ^Washing Machine, which has gained a world wide reputation for doing excellent work. The Sunbeam, unlike all lever rotating or cogwheel machines, which will tire the arms, wrench the back or strain the chest of an ordinary woman while standing up to work them, can be and is best worked with ease to the operator by sitting, and the work is done with very little expenditure of muscle. Being closed, it prevents splashing of water and inhaling of steam, so injurious to health, and retains the temperature so necessary in removing the dirt from goods, and freeing them from .ill oily and greasy substance. This "machine is guaranteed to thor oughly cleanse all kinds of clothing without the aid of the washboard, save boiling the clothes and do the entire work. The operator, while sitting in an easy chair, can do a family washing in one-fourth the time required by any other machine upon the market. It is built of the best material, substantially made and neatly finished. With proper care, it will last for many years. Largest endorsement of any machine upon the market. Managers of territory, traveling and local agents wanted. Send for circulars. Coates Mfg. Co. Office and Works, Walkerton, Ind.
