Washer with Heater.
A new device that lessens the drudgery of wash day is the combination washer and stove. It is made entirely of metal. The advantage of having the fire under the wash water is that it enables the cleansing to be done better and more quickly; it is not necessary to carry water from the stove to the place where the washing is done. A few minutes’ pumping on the handle is said to drive the dirt from the clothes, linens, or other fabrics in the washer.
