All machines, with the exception of the Connor Ball Bearing Washer, are supplied with the No. 2 tub unless No. 3 is specified. Our Stave Leg has the stave of the tub running down and forming the leg. These legs are cross braced underneath and also bound with in. steel rods. This style of tub is the most permanent and solid of any on the market and is away ahead of the leg socket style no matter how clever the attachments may be. Our covers are double thickness, the grain of the bottom part running crosswise to the top and securely screwed together with galvanized screws, thus ensuring a perfect cover that will not warp. The No. 3 tub is same as No. 2, but with detachable hardwood legs, which are bolted inside the bottom of tub in. steel and securely braced and bound together by

rods.

These tubs are specially adapted for export shipments and where storage requirements demand economy of space. They crate up into very small space, as per cut
on next page.

Our tubs
are

made from Louisiana Red Cypress

lumber. Many of the great works of ancient builders that withstood the test of time for ages are known to have been

made

of Cypress.

The

historic gates of Constantinople

were made of Cypress and were on duty for eleven centuries. The Cypress doors of ancient St. Peters in Koine were in a perfect state of preservation after twelve
centuries constant use.

In our experience of over thirty years in washing machine manufacturing, we have learned the strength and limitations of various woods, and have found that Cypress is the best possible material for washing machine
construction.

Our tubs are varnished over the natural wood, showthe beautiful texture and figure of the wood, and ing ensuring you that only selected materials are used.

Life

Buoy Brand

Means guaranteed quality in Clothes Wringers. The all important part of the wringer is the rubber roll. Wringers which have hard rolls are practically of
no value as wringing devices. To wring dry the rolls must be pliable and elastic, so that the thick and thin parts will be dried evenly. Our Life Buoy brand guaranteed Wringers are the best value on the market. The rolls contain the very best of rubber stock. When it comes to buying wringers the best is the cheapest and the Life Buoy Brand Wringers are the best.
