This is really the cheapest Machine in the

almost noiseless in its operation, and uses
straight needle. 1t is so arranged as to be
utterly impossible for 1t to miss stitches 1t has
a tension on both sides, and carries large sup
ply of thread on the under spool. The motions
are gained BY two small cranks that run with
out perceptible noise. The two threads are
worked in such manner as never to both pull
at the same time, and consequently, little liable
to break. The seam is very elastic, and the
thread does not break in washing. 1t will do
coarse work better than any cheap machine now
in market, as it uses silk, cotton, or linen with
equal facility. Price, $50. s..5 ~.
