Purses, Rigolets, ETC., etc.
The machines are of two kinds -.a
The Portable Machine is constructed with a
clamp and thumb-screw, by which it is easily at
tached to a common table for operation.
The Foot-Power Machine is mounted on an
elegant black walnut table, which is supported
by an iron framework similar to that of an ordi-
narily mounted sewing machine.
Accompanying each machine are an oil can, a
screw-driver, twenty extra needles, shareholders,
of a beautiful and improved pattern, a winder,
for winding the yarn upon the bobbin from which
it is unwound in knitting and a book Of instruc-
ton, containing a complete explanation of the
entire machine, its several parts, and how to OPP
crate it and keep it in order, and how to finish up
the fabrics and articles of its manufacture. In
word, there is supplied with each machine. every
tool and implement and all the information requi
site for a person of ordinary intelligence to start
successfully, without further assistance, a HOME
KNITTING ESTABLISHMENT.
This machine offers peculiar inducements to
the formation of
CLUBS.
Inasmuch as one machine will do the entire
knitting of a large family, or even an ordinary
village, it is manifest that, so far as the cost Is
concerned, no community need be without one Of
them. By the association of q few neighborhood
friends in the purchase, the cost to each may bt
reduced to q mere trif1e and the machine is sc
like a case knife in simplicity, and 80 extremely
little liable to get out of order that it is singular
ly adapted to such associated use.
TESTIMONIALS OF PURCHASERS AND OPERATORS
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Dec. 10, 1860.
A friend of mine has owned and run one o
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 ines

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 don,

Simple justice to you compels me to say tina
your family knitting machine is all you claim TO
it. | have knit hundreds of pairs of socks an
stockings, from the very heavy yarn for the tiel,
hand down to the infants stocking, and hav

out Of repair, and never drops stitches. In truth
I as a timesaving and comfort-giving machine,
, regard it without a rival, ANN MESSENGER.

months, and would not part with it for man

4 OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Aiken's family knitting machine is one of th
greatest curioslties of the age. Not only does
- knit stockings and socks with great ~rapidity. BIT
its work is done with more regularity and accur
n cy than can be done by a lady. 1t will knit
pair of hose in ten minutes. We have not ha
time to examine it thoroughly, but have see
= enough to satisfy us that it will be sought for b
farmers and planters, and become as necessary
large families as sewing machines, - Richmon
y IVA Dispatch.
Aiken's family knitting machine is the mo
ingenious and valuable thing of the kind ever i
vented. 1t knits the same as hand knitting, ar
the rapidity with which it manufactures yarn i
to stockings and other garments, strikes the b
holder with astonishment.- Boston Traveller.
Knitting by hand is fast going out of date, al
we predict that this machine will make ordinal
knitting needles, q few years hence, a %curiosit
i Manchester IN. H. Mirror.
It's work is better and more even than can
. done by hand, and will knit a stocking while
woman is setting up" one.-[oswego CONNIE
