The Portable Machine is constructed with q
clamp and thumbscrew 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, skeln-holders
of beautiful and improved pattern, a winder,
for winding the yarn upon the bobbin from which
il il unwound in knitting and a hook of
ton, containing a complete explanation of the
entire machine, its several parts and how to op-
crate it and keep it in order, and how to finish up
the fabrics and articles of its manufacture. In a
word, there is supplied with each machine, every
tool and implement and all the information requi-
site for 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 few neighborhood
friends in the purchase, the cost to each may be
reduced to mere trihe and the machine is so
like a case knife in simplicity, and so 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 of
yourfamiy knitting machines for some time past,
and has realized, from operating it, over three
dollars per day, and is very busy these hard times.

machines for several months and am much pleas

Simple justice to you eompels 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-saying and comfortgiving machine,
regard it without rival, ANN MESSENGER.

months, and would not part with il for many
times its cost, If unable to get another. Beside
the care OF large family, it is no uncommon
thing for me to make with it dollar and half a

/ no other cares | could easily make two dollars a
day. have knit upon it all kinds of cotton
and wooden hosiery, and for fancy work it can I

pleasant and profitable employment to buy one
of your machines. If necessary, borrow the

/ OPINIONS OF THE PRESS
Aiken's family knitting machine is one of the
greatest curiosities of the age Not only does it
knit stockings and socks with great rapdty, but
its work is done with more regularity and accura-
cy than can be done by a 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. 81 Richmond
