CLUBS
Inasmuch as one machine will do the entire
knitting of large family, or even an ordinary
village it is manifest that, so far the cost is
concerned, no community need be without one of
them By the association of few neighborhood
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 1t is singular
ly adapted to such associated use.

your family knitting machines for some time past

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

TuscUMBIA, Ala, Nov. II, 1860.
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-saving and comfortgiving machine. |

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Aikens family knitting machine is one of the
greatest curiosities of the age. Not only does 1t
knit stockings and socks with great rapidity, but
its work is done with more regularity and accura.
cy than can be done by lady: 1t will knit a
pair of hose in ten minutes. We have not had
time to examine it thoroughly, but have seen
enough to satisfy us that it will be sought for by
farmers and planters and become as necessary in
large families as sewing machines. Richmond
(Va.) Dispatch.
Aiken's family knitting machine is the most
ingenious and valuable thing of the kind ever in
vented. 1t knits the same as hand knitting, and
the rapidity with which it manufactures yarn in
to stockings and other garments, strikes the be-
holder with establishment Boston Traveller.
Knitting by hand is fast going out of date, and
we predict that this machine will make ordinary
knitting needles, few years hence, curiosity.
