Hg= We know and speak from expert
enee when we say that Elliott's Improved
Pearl Sewing Machines, sold by G, T. Col
Inns, & co., 40 Lake st. Chicago, are the
cheapest and most economical of any Ma
chine we have seen for family use. The

sold at the low price of $50. We recon-
mend it in the fullest confidence to our
frieads.-Chicago Democrat. 20w4
