1hasthucb DIS one machine will do the entire
knitting of 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 neighborh0od
friends in the purchase, the cost to each may be
reduced to mere tri1e and the machine is so
like case knife in simplicity, and SO extremely
little liable to get out of order that it is singular
ly adapted to such associated use.

A friend of mine has owned and run one of
your family knitting machines for some time past,
and has realized, from operating it, over three

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

regard it without rival, ANN MESSENGER.

months, and would not part with it for many
times its cost, if unable to get another. Beside
the care of a 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

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
Aikens family knitting machine is one Of the
greatest curiosities Of the age. Not only does it
knit stockings and socks with great rapidly, but
its work is done with more regularity and accura-
cy than can be done by 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 IL will be sought for by
farmers and planters, and become as necessary in
large families as sewing machines.-[ Richmond
! (Va.) Dispatch. sI.rH
Aiken's family knitting machine is the most
ingenious and valuable thing Of the kind ever in
vented. IL knits the same as hand knitting, and
the rapidity with which 1t manufactures yarn in
to stockings and other garments strikes the be-
holder with astonishment.-[ Boston Traveller.
Knitting by hand is fast going out OF date. and
we predict that this machine will make ordinary
knitting needles, few years hence, curiosity,
