Franklin Family Sewing Machines!
THESE Machines make the celebrated Gro

highest premium at the Illinois State Fair, in
September last, at the United States Fair, in
St. Louis, in 1860, and at the principal State
Fairs throughout the country.
Competent Jusges gave a decision in favor
Of this stitch, on account of its great strength
and adaptation to all kinds offamily and man
ufacturing purposes.
The following table will show the difference
in favor of Sewing Machines over the old
method Of stitching by hand. lu the working
Of these Machines there is not only great
saving Of labor and time, besides adding great
lv to the healthfulness of the employment, but
the stitch is much stronger more elastic, and
less liable to rip or ravel than tie stitch made
with shuttes and bobbins.

The Franklin Family Sewing Machine

Has one advantage which is worthy of especial
attention. in addition to the peculiar character
Of the stitch, and that is its adaptation to Ell
Their light or medium heavy work. The Ma
chine which at one moment is used on THE
MOST DELICATE FABRIC, in few moments
after can be brought to bear with the same IA
cilitv on cottonades and towels of the coarsest
description. Its adaptation for FaHAy Work
is thus remarkable, and gives it a superiority
over every other style of machine in the mar
ket
In order that these Machines may be placed
in the hands of all classes, we have reduced
the price of our Franklin Family Machine 10
Forty Dollars and from the increase of our
business for the last year. The entiro salts
faction our Machines are giving throughout
the United States and European Countries, we
are led to believe that our determination to
manufacture a Perfect, Simple, 2c1iGJte and
Cheap Machine has been fully appreciated by
the public. This policy viii remain unchanged
and as heretofore no Machines will be allowed
to leave the office that we cannot fully warrant
in every respect we shall keep on hand at all
times a general assortment of Sewing Machine
materials.
Needles for all machines can be ordered b.
Mail or Express. Price one dollar per dozen
Persons in the country, by sending US their
address enclosing a letter stamp, can have for
