FLORENCE SEWING MACHINE - There
are some facts in connection with this new and
unequaled sewing machine that persons desir-
Gus OF purchasing the very best would do well
to remember, few Of which are here given:
Fnst-It is the only machine ex;ant having a
reversible feed, which enables the operator to
SOW either right or left at pleasure.
Secoud-It is the on ly machine in the world
that makes perfectly elastic seam, alike on each
side Of the fabric.
Third-It not only makes the lock stitch,
but three Others, which for certain kinds of work
are much superior, especially where elasticity is
required
Fonrih--lt is the only machine that fastens
the end Of each seam securely, and does it in
one fourth of the time il can be done by hand.
Fifth--It does not draw thn fine goods down
through tae slot or hole in the work plate, nor
drop stitch in turning a corner.
Sixth-It is the only machine having change
less tension, and 70 slack threads, both of which
are drawn together simultaneously.
Seventh-It is the only machine capable Of
making more than one kind of a stitch, hence,
many who have not seen it suppose it must be
very complicated; such, however, is not the
fact as it has less parts, cams, springs and fric
ton than any other shuttle machine, or many Of
the loop stitch machines, while for strength, du-
rability and beauty of design, we trust it will
bear, and we invite comparison with any or all
other machines. Let those who doubt, call and
see at the City Book Store. Lansing, Michigan.

STITCHES. - Sewing Machines make
only two kinds of stitches that are at all desra-
bic. One is the celebrated Grover & Baker
stitch, noted for its superior elasticity and dura-
bility in wearing and washing. The other is the
shuttle, or lock stitch. The Grover & Baker
machine takes both of these stitshes, so that
purchasers, after trying and comparing the two,
can take their choice. These machines can be
seen at any time at IDgerso's in operation manu-.
featuring cloaks, and persons after seeing them
work can easily decide that they are the best
sewing machine in existence.
P.S.-Perhaps you want one of those nict
eloaks spoken of above if so call at IngersolPs
at once, and supply yourself or have one made
to order. 44sw4
