them practical instructions in the use of the ma
chimes will be given wthom charge, SO that the
luyer may thoroughly understand the principle of
the machine--what every part of it does-and how
the whole may be kept in perfect working order
with reasonable and skill.
We specify of the chief points of excellence
belonging to these machines.
!. Perfection If Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. 1t cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstress and
takes one-thrd less thread to stitch than that does

sewer) is absolutely uniform and is precisely the
same on both sides of the seam This last quality
| Is of signal advantage, sometimes, in making a
| garment because some parts are more easily han

2. Rapidty Of Execution. The saving of time

| seen it in operation. good will easily take
from n thousand to twelve hundred stitches in n
