SEWING MACHINES.

invention Of this age, Sewing Machines,
that may be OF value to some OF our
readers. 1t favors the machine Of Laid,
| Webster & Co.
we desire to call the attention Of our
readers to 4 few facts concerning the
Ladl, Webster & Co. Machines, show
ing it's durability in families; because of
its being not only a moncy-saver, but
a decided and important preventive of
i'll health aud physicians duns. Show.
ing, also, its simplicity, strength, and
capacity for all sorts of sewing, fine or
coarse, and its superiority over all sew
ing machines now III the market. and its
a%daptability for the use Of families, dress
makers, t%ailors, shoe and harness manu-
factu:es, o. in any branch OF industry
where sewing is repaired. In its money
saving capacity i, secures, par excellence
the highest domestic consideration, rs
all are aware who, through experience,
have learned its worth, and the fact is
easily demonstrated that it will. even
in a few months save more than it's cost
in the family, and Ill 4 much shorter
time to the seamStress or IN the work
shop. Ask, reader, one of your neigh
borS who have OF these machines,
and our word for it, the answer will sat
isty you Of the desirability, not only, but
their actual necessity.
In the East, where they have been
more extensively introduced than here,
it is almost impossible to find Il family
without one ofthcSc machines. and the
fact ,hat 4 family is poorly off III this
worlds goods, is the greatest OF reasons
AMI necessities inducing that family 70
procure one, for with it money may be
earned by the wife or daughter, help
inc or encouraging the husband. broth
er or aged father, in his work of scrnr-
inc home comforts or Injuries. For
the wealthy thy are 4 most faithful and
valuable servant, securing alike eXpcai-
ton and faithfu.ness Of work, and, if
desired, gotten up in such beauty Of
finish and .lahovatennss OF mounting as
TO make most beautiful articles of fnrni-
ture. in their carved rosewood, m,hog-
any, AID black walnut cabinet castings.
No family should be without t.rm: they
have only IN be used to be appreciated
and generally adopted in every house
hold. We have examined critically and
carefully all the various machines, aud
fee! that we should do injustice were
we to recommend u other than Ladl.
Webster IS Co.'S, which we tint u BE-
in every essential. the best III Il. mar
kct, and far ahead Of any other in sim
p!ic;ty, durability, anl particularly in
al%aptednesS to all varieties Of sewing,
whether in the finest muslin, the heavi-
est wooden, or the coacscst leather. It
is really surprising to sec l!ie facility
with which the machine alapts Itself to
the various ranges Of sewing, running
as it will without the least change OF
machinery or tension from the most
delicate lace to muslin, from muslin to
the thickest coatings, and even to leath-
err. In this particular there is no ma
chine bearing any comparison to the
Lald, Webster & Co. The simplicity
ana the oasc with which their use il
learned; these, too, arc very important
points Of advantage III them which cs-
pccially demand our notice. And then
the stitch is perfect, light, free from any
possibility Of mravcling, it is elastic.
and what is more important than all, il
is alike on both sides Of the material,
leaving no under side ridge to wear out
as is the case with other machines.
They are the strongest sewing mach
ines made. It is almcst impossible t"
break or get them on OF order. The,
are sure in their opcration, finishing the
work i'll q unif rmly perfect manner
They stitch, fell hem, bind,run and gath
er, withou: bastiny. They sew over the
heaviest seams without changing the
tension or breaking the thread !; use
any number Linen, Cotton, Thread Or
Silk directly from the spool use a
straight needle, curved mes are liable
to break, and the needle has i perl,en-
licnlar motion, which is absolutely nee
cssarv for heavy work. T;,cv run east
" and are almost noisrlcss; are not lin
bic to oil the dress Of the operator; do
not require Il scrcw-driycr to set the
needle; do not have to be taken anar:
10 oil or clean, aud are not was;elul OF
threat rs are ALI chain stitch machines.
Combining Ill these advantages, Who
shall say that the I.add, Webster 4 Co.
Sewing Machine is not on u part i ju-
licious and worthy selection.
We have seen testimony in favor OF
the Machine made by LADD, WEB
STER & Co, which, from the moral
and religious character OF the writer's,
We are satisfied could never have been
obtained, had not the instrument fully
realized the representation Of tho makers
respecting it; these testimonials arc
from clergymen and persons Of high
moral worth and integrity III the com
m.nitv, we'll known to our readers, and
are of the most iattering character
