Inasmuch as one machine will do the entire
knitting of large family, or even an ordinary
village, it is manifest that, SO far as the cost is

them. BY the association of q few neighb0rhood
friends in the purchase, the cost to each may be
reduced to mere trife and the machine is so
like case knife in simplicity, and so extremely
little liable TO get out of order that it is singular

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 10, 1860.
A friend of mine has owned and run one of
your family knitting machines for some time past
and has realized, from operating it, over three
dollars per day and is very busy these hard times

LIBERTY, Mo-, Nov. %, 1860
have been using one of your family knitting
machines for several months, and am much pleas
ed with it.. The work is better than that done
by hand. A lady can knit and fni,h, with your
machine dozen pairs of hose in just about the
same time that is required to knit single pair by
hand, and with much less fatigue.

Simple justice to you compels me to say that
your family knitting machine is all you claim for
it. | have knit hundreds of pairs of socks and
stockings, from the very heavy yarn for the field
hand down to the infants stocking, and have
never broke the first needle. 1t has never been
out of repair, and never drops stitches In truth
as time-savipg and comfort-gi machine,
regard it without rival, ANN MESSENGER.

months, and would not part with it for many
times its cost, il unable to get another. Beside
the care of a large family, it is no uncommon

no other cares could easily make two dollars a
day. have knit upon it all kinds of cotton
and wooden hosiery, and for fancy work it can I
be beat. | have knit shawls, nubias opera capes

pleasant and profitable employment to buy one
