ing of thread they Hem, Fell, Gather, and Stitch
| in a superior style, finishing each seam by their
own operation, without recourse to the hand

HOUR, and unquestionably, the BEST MAcHlN Es

their simplicity durability, Of management, and
adaptation to all varieties of family sewing-exe-
cutting either heavy fine work with equal facili-
|ty, and without special adjustment.
