THE
FINKLE &c LYON
SEWING MACHINE COMPANY,

Branch Office, 1o2 Lake Street. !
Chicago III.
EOR the purpose of facilitating the Sewing
J. Machine Trade in the West, the FINkLE
Y LYON Sc Wing MACHINE CO. have
opened permanent Office; J. chicago, No. 1C2
Lake Street, first floor.)
The usual charges for freight on Machines
from New Work to this place will be added
to the New York prices. In every other res
pect the business of the Chicago office will be
done on the same terms as at the parent
Office in New York.
A full assortment Of Machines, with all the
late improvements, is already in the Chicago
Office, and all orders for Machines and Sewing
Machine Findings will be promptly filed.
10 parties little acquainted with the Finkle
Lyon Sewing Machines tho careful perusal
the Companys Circular is specially COM
mcnded. This circular can be had on appli-
cation. 1t is very specific, and will be found
highly instructive, having been prepared with
much care, and we will abide BY all state
ments therein made.
The following brief quotation is charact-
eristic Of the entire Circular:
"This Machine is better adapted than any
other Sewing Machine in market to the fire.
quent changes and almost endless variety of
sewing required in a family; for it will sew
with out stopping, and make every stitch per-
feet. Will sew from the finest gauze to the
heaviest cloth, and even the stoutest harness
leather, without changing the feed, needle or
tension, or making any adjustment Of ma
chine whatever
Thus have we successfully overcome the
most difficult point in the Sewing Machine
art. 1t was no ordinary triumph. Defantly
can We now say, mo other Machine compares
with it in this respect" Hence, have We un-
iformly-almost without exception-taken
the highest premium, whenever the Machine
has been properly exhibited in competition
with other irst-class Sewing Machines
Hence is it that we are able to offer the fol-
lowing guarantee, viz, I'VE Warrant every
Machine we sell to give BETTER satisfaction
than any other Sewing Machine in market,
or money refunded" We never sell Machine
on any other terms. The guarantee il as re-
liable as the note Of any BUSINESS man in the
land. For moro than FIVE years have we re-
lied upon such facts for the reputation of our
Machine; aud without single travelling
agent in the field, there 10 scarcely . neigh
bourhood on the continent where the Machine
is not favorably known. We prefer such o
reputation to one based on more stalking
points" as they are technically called in the
trade. Hence We make but one kind Of stitch,
viz, the lock-stitch, alike on both sides, re-
quiring only cns-third the thread Of other
kinds Of stitches.

NOIsLESS FAMILY
SEWING MACHINES.
ARE NOW
Within the Reach Of all
AT PRICES FROM
40 to 100 Dollars,
TEN REASONS WHY
THE GROVER & BAKER
M q Q h 4 n q -

l. It makes the only seam formed by .
Sewing machine in which the stitch is indie
pendentiy locked, and without dependence
upon the other stitches for strength.
?. II makes the only seam that will admit
of the thread being cut ct every fourth stitch
without injary to the seam in wear.
3. Ii is unnecessary to fasten the ends Of
seams made by this machine This il done
by the machine itself. without tbs use Of the
hand needle.
4. The Grover 4 Baker stitch is the only one
formed from two ordinary spools, and without
winding from the spool into shuttle from
three to five times, for the under thread.
5. A seam thus formed is more elastic than
any other made by sewing machine, and 10
consequently very valuable in all goods that
are to be washed and stretch ed under the iron.
8. The machine is adapted to ~ varieties
of fabrics, sewing each equally we'll, requir-
ing ne adjustment for any kind Of sewing,
other than the adaptation Of needles and
thread.
Z. 1t is more easily kept in order than
any other machine, aud need mot be taken
apart to be oiled.
g. The machine sews common spool cotton
silk and linen thread, with equal facility.
9. The machine is 50 simple that an intel
ligent child Of ten years can readily learn to
operate and keep it in order.
10. by reason of its npl'city Of construc-
ton and ease Of management, il isssbest adapt
ed to DO all the wants Of the family.

cicnt for small experiment. Those
receiving it by mail are expected to pre-.
pay postage. at the rate Of one cent an
ounce.
Tobacco Seed A there is consider.
able inquiry for Tobacco Seed, am
endeavoring to have supply sufficient
to mce', at least all demands for cxper-
mental cultivation. A large portion
Of it was grown in NorthcreR Iowa.
From teaspoon full to a tablespoonful
will be sufficient for most applicants.
Directions for cultivating and curing
will accompany each package sent.
Cotton Seed. l am promised COED
supply of upland Cotton Seed, perhaps
sufficient for all who will apply. Di.ec
tons for cultivating will be sent witt

forwarded to parties in the order of re-
ceipt OF application. Very respectfully,
