Test it THOROUGHLY with ANY and ALL others, and if not entirely satisfactory, return it. Putnam Manufacturing Co. GENTLEMEN: I know from practical experience that iron well galvanized with zinc will not oxidize or rust one particle. The Putnam Wringer is as near perfect as possible, and I can cheerfully recommend it to be the best in use. Respectfully yours, JNO. W. WHEELER, Cleveland, Ohio. Many years' experience in the galvanizing business enable me to endorse the above statement in all particulars. New York, January, 1864. JNO. C. LEFFERTS, No. 100 Beekman Street. We have tested Putnam's Clothes Wringer by practical working, and know that it will do. It is cheap; it is simple; it requires no room, whether at work or at rest; a child can operate it; it does its duty thoroughly; it saves time and it saves wear and tear. We earnestly advise all who have much washing to do, with all intelligent persons who have any, to buy this Wringer. It will pay for itself in a year at most. HON. HORACE GREELEY.
