An experience Of seven years with

First. Never purchase machine Of
any itinerant dealer. A Sewing Ma

general rule. and we believe invariably
-of no value. These little machines
carried about are worth jas: the price
per pouad Of the ne'tle in them.
Seeosd. For family sewing never
purchase angle thread machine Of any
kind. The chain stitch is not service
able one: ard the ridge on the under
side is : serious objection in sewing al
delicate material. and in fact. in nearly
al fsmily sewing.
II possible. before purchasing ma
chias. ask the opinion Of some one Who
is familiar with the subject. and on whose
Judgment and impartiali'y you can rely.
Do not believe what the agents say. We
never Jet sau one who did not Claim
that his wss the 5est machine made-or
