and our r-crd for il, the answer will sat
isfy yon Il the ~desirabilit!, not only, but
their ar.a.i necessity.
In the East, where they have been
more extensively introduced than here,
it is aln,o i impossible to find a family
without CT. Of these machines. and the
fact that = family is poorly off in this
worlds goods, is the greatest OF reasons
aud necessities inducing that family to
procure one. for with it money may be
earned BIZ the wife or daughter, help
ing or encouraging the husband, broth
or or aged father, in his work OF secur-
ing home comforts or Injuries. Fer

Ne family should be without tkcm: they
Lave only to lie used to be appreciated
and generally adopted in every house
hold. We have examined critically and
carefully oil the various machines, aud
feel that We should do injustice were
we to recommend any other than Ladd,
Webster & Cos, which We find to be
in every essential. the best in the mar
ke,, and Far ahead Of any other in sim
plicitv, durability, and particularly in
al.ptedncss TO All varieties of sewing,
whether in the finest muslin, the lleavi-
cat wooden, or the coarsest leather. It
is really surprising TO sec the facility
with which the machine adapts Itself to
the various ranges Of sewing, running
as il 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-
CT. In this particular there is no ma
chine bearing any comparison to the
I.add. Webster 4 Co. The simplicity
and the sase with which their use is
learned: these, too, are very important
points Of advantage in them which cs-
pccially demand our notice. And then
the stitch is perfect, light, free from any
possibility Of ~unraveling, it is elastic,
and what is more important than all, it
10 alike on both sides of the material,
leaving no under side ridge to-wcar out
a il the ease with ctlor machines.
They sre the strongest sewing mach
ines made. II Is alme.t impossible to
break or get them ont Of order. They
arc snre in their operation, finishing the
work in ; uniformly perfect manner
They stitch, fell hem, bind, run and gath
er, without basting. 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

BILE TO oil the dress Of the operator; do
not require q screw-driver t. set the
needle do not have to be taken apart
to oil or clean, and are not wasteful of
thread as are all chain stitch machines.
Combining al these advantages, who
shall say that the Ladd, Webster 4 Go.
Sewing Machine is rot on our part a ju-
dlcious and worthy selection.
We have ccen testimony III favor of
the Machine made by LADD, WEB
STFR & CO., which, from the moral
and religious character ct the writer's,
We are satisfied could never have been
obtained, had not the instrument fully
realized the representation of the makers
respecting it; these testimonials are
from clergymen and persons Of high
moral worth and integrity in the com
munity, we'll known TO our readers, and
are of the most flattering character.
