About this Vintage Print Ad
This advertisement promotes the 1900 Cataract Electric Washer as an efficient, gentle, and thorough washing machine for handling large amounts of soiled vacation laundry. It highlights the washer's exclusive figure 8 motion, which forces water through clothes four times as often as an ordinary washer, along with an electric wringer that can be shifted without stopping the machine. The ad emphasizes that the washer is safe for delicate garments, has no parts to catch or tear clothes, costs less than 2 cents an hour to operate, and washes clothes in 8 to 10 minutes. It also invites readers to write for the book "George Brinton's Wife."
