The Sewing Machine Convention.
This body commences its business today at
Bryan Hall at 10 o'clock, to continue in ses-
sion for two days. It has called together
numerous attendance Of business men
throughout the Northwest, engaged in the |
sale Of the Wheeler d Wilson Sewing Ma
chine. It will be confessed as novelty
among conventions, but it has grown directly
out Of necessities produced by the growth Of
the interest, and the extension Of the field Of |
the Chicago Agency over six States Of the
Northwest. The object will be a conference |
and presentation Of facts and principles eua-
bodied in the sewing machine and in the nu-
merous Improvements secured to it. Pri5na- |
rily, it is an occasion for the instruction and |
guidance Of Two hundred OF more business +
men, gathered from throughout the region |
named, to enable them the more inteal5gent1y !
to bring before their respective fields the cx-
cellent machine they represent. But this is
not all The public will be the gamers BY an
amount Of information with reference to tile
whole subject, now for the first time put in
this form. The whole subject will be can
yassed. The various kinds of machine stitch
es will be illustrated by diagrams, models,
&c, and more plainly than the like informa
ton was ever placed before an audience. It
is of double advantage when private and bn-
siness interest is forwarded by means which
are directly Of profit to the community.
Atken,s Portable Knitting Machine.
| We would call the special attention of the
| Sewing Machine agents now in the city to the
! advertisement Of Aiken's Celebrated Family
Knitting Machine, the General Northwestern
Agency for which is at 120 Lake street. II is
the intention Of the General Agent to estab-
1ish sub agencies for the sale Of this inya3ua
bic instrument, q sale which will be only
e4uallcd By that Of the Sewing Machine ITSELF
AEart from this business arrangement we
would also cali the attention Of the ladies to q
matter which so deeply interests them in this
! branch of the household economy. The
Hitting machine knits pair Of stockings in
fifteen minutes with the same stitch as that
made by hand. In these war times when the
demand for stockings is SO universal, When SO
many women must find means Of indepcud.
ent support, when it behooTes every one to
practice rigid economy, the Knitting Ma
chine cannot but come Into universal use. il
is light, cheap, portable. simple, and can be
operated by child. It is destined to work 8
revolution in the clothing Eaor1d, and to q
large extent do away with the SLOW kittlng
needles of our grand danes. The world is
moving and not the least result Of the move
ment is the invention Of the Knitting Ma
chine, an instrument which in the importance
of it's results, extent Of manufacture and cal
for employment will rival the Sewing Ma
: chine. The General Agents are Messrs
Branson &Elliot, 120 Lake street.
