manship and ready for use. To all purchasers Of
them practical instructions in the of the ma
chimes will be given without 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 care and skill.
We specify of the chief points of excellence
belonging to these machines.
/. Perfection of Stitch. No stronger stitch is
made by thanksgiving. II cannot rip any more
than the common back stitch of the seamstress, and
takes one-frd less thread to stitch than that does.
The stitch (fne or coarse at the pleasure OF the
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
died in the making, by change of side.
2. Rapidly Of Execution. The saving of time
by its use is hardly credible by one who has not
seen 1t in operation good sewer will easily take
from thousand TO twelve hundred stitches in n
minute with it, The finest work does not tax the
eyes as the coarsest work by hand does.
3. Sadness and Ease Of Notion. The stiffness
