These machines sew from two spools,j ~
purchased from the store, requiring no re-
winding of thread; they Hem, Fell, Gather,
and Stitch in superior style, finishing eash
seam by their own operation, without reoourss
to the hand-needle, as is required by other
machines. They will do better and cheaper
sewing than a seamstress can, even II she
works for one cent an hour, and are, unquss-
tionably, the best Machines in the market for
family sewing, on account of their simplicity
durability, ease of management, and sadaptar
tion to all varieties of family sewing-execut@
ing either heavy or fine work with equal faoiis
