Ladd, webster and COmpany's sew

| :
by Mr.. g. G. KNIFFIN, the agent OF the hrm,
several elegant machines, with speOimens-of
the sewing performed by their instrumentality.
The pleasure of the visit was not little
enhanced by witnessing the operation of sewing,
under the controlling skill of that most useful
and exquisite of all Inventions young
Lady.
In conversing with Mr.. KN1rFIN, we took
occasion TO ask him what he claimed on behalf
of the machines Of LADD, WEBSTER & Co.,
which was not possessed by the machines
of other manufacturers, or if possessed by
them, not to the same extent.
He at once pointed us to row Of the
machines, saying, We claim for them, in the
first place, that they are far handsomer than
those of other makers. If ga thing of beauty
is Joy for ever" then LADD, WEBSTER Co.'s
Machines must be cause Of joy to every
family which welcomes them to their circle.
He claimed for them, secondly, that they
we're pre-eminently "FAMLY SEWING MA
CHIMES" Whatever other makers may claim
for their productions as manufacturing ma
chimes, LADD, WEBSTER & Co. have the glory
of being the firm of all others which provides
machines specially adapted to family use.
Mr. KNIFFIN, moreover, said that LADD,
WEBSTER & Co.'s Machines make what's called
the Lock stitch, to perfection; that they are
: celebrated for the evenness and regularity of
the work they perform, and that it is impossi-
BILE to rip or pull out the stitches-short of
cutting or violently rending the thread. And
he added that it was quite an easy matter to
manage them; for being constructed on the
"Cam movement principle" they were neces-
sarily as simple.as they were perfect.
Mr.. KNIFFIN showed us several letters received
by him from parties who had purchased
t machines of LADD, WEBSTER & Co.'s manufac-
ture, the contents of which were highly salts
