HUSBAND AND WIFE* The HueBAND. Dear wire, I am weary of seeing Yon toil every day for your bread, While I am a poor helpless being ; 'li 3 ofcen I wi-h I were dead. You ne'ez were arcuatomed to toiling, Your hands were once white like the snow ; While I watch you work night and morn* iflg Yonr movements seem wearied and slow. The Wife, Dear husband, give over your worry, My work seems like labor, I ween But I am never 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, Tha' our clothes are tee envy of neighbors Who adore Ferriman's Washing Machine TO THE WIVES AND MOTHERS OF ABHBURTON AND THE GENEQAL PUBLIC CF NEW* ZEALAND. In presenting to tin public of Ashburton the maivellous fcTE&M WASHER, I telitve I am conferring a boon of incalculable worth on every wile and mother m this beauti ul land on whom that most important function of every household devolves known (and hitherto dreaded) as washing clothes of every description. By the use of this Machine, this distasteful and slavish woike is entirely relieved of its drudgery, and made a source of pleasurable exercise, The unequalled qualities which it possesees of thoroughly bleaching tin clothes, giving them an unparalleled whiteness, and its harmless action upon delicate and colored fabrics, render it peculiarly useful and popular. The saving qualities of the Machine aro quite m keeping with its otrur meritorious, features. Any person who will givs it a practical test will be unquestionably convinced that from an ECONOMICAL standpoint it is unsurpassed and unequalled. Ths consumption of fuel is materially reduc-"d. The saving effected m this item alone will m one year equal the price of the Machine. As it only entails the consumption of two-thirds the amount of eoap used m the ordinary way of washing, this Uem of economy is self-evident to every person. The greatest saving, ho svever, is effected m th 9 wear and tear of the clothes. Evory intelligent individual knows that the use of tha washboard wears tha various fabrics more than anything olse, and as the marvellous Steam Washer renders its übq absolutely unnecessary, aud thereby obviates almost entirely the necessity for '• clothes mending," itßeavlng qialities n this pprdoular wi'l be at once apparent, and appreciated. But all its saving qualities cf a financial character are elipßea, and dwindld into insignificance, when we take into consideration the frail, delicate, and weakly condition of thousands of wives and mothers who are forced to lax th.ir energies and waßte their limited strength m the old way of washing; but who may, by the use of ita magical propertfes, do the work without any fatigue to their feeble bodies, and with iufiaite satisfaction and pleasure to their minds. This, more than any defi:e or expectation on the part .of the inventor to make money out of the article, wqb the prim 3 object hi had m view. From the marvellous results obtained from its use, however, and the unbounded and enthusiastic commendations from eveiyono having used i t since its introduction to the public, as the annexed list of names of persons who have purchased tha: machine and Jare willing to testify lo ita merits, will fully atteet, the advertiser has^deemed it wise, ia order to place this incomparable article of household use more promiaeatly before the intelligent people of the district ( to give the postal address of a few of the buyers, m crder that an unprejudiced and entirely impartial opinion of its intrinsic value, may be readily obtained by anyone desirous of getting such information from actual users and purchasers, who will undoubtedly b 3 best calculated to give a just estimate of its value.
