FAMILY SEWING MACHINE

Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST & WnLsoN's Machine.
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
ID The needle and needle bar arc both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached to n small wheel driven by larger
orc, instead Of to the long arm of lever, as in
most machines, with power upon the short one
The latter arrangement necessarily makes the
motion of the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness
3D.. The great power and directness Of tho
motion enables us to sew all fabrics, from gauzo
to four thickncsses of leather with almost equal
case and the Machine can be made to run,
without changing needle or thread, through all
the different thcknesses, from n sheet Of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping stitch or breaking thread. We
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th II uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, il
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than any other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing TO pass freely tho heavi-
est garments, bed-quilts, &C., and it will turn up
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
5th. The Machine will do greater variety
Of work than can be done by any other stitch.
1t will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBROID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
similarstitch upon the highest priced machine.
No machine will make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
