A Card Of Acknoy iedgmeut fro.'s sne Florence
Sewing Ma. shIne Company

due sense OF our deep obss, eompels US thus pus
cly to acknowledge our extreme tanks to the pcpeo"
of single thread machine for the ve manner IN which
they have called the attention the pa bic to the merits o.
the Florence Sewing Machine sria published by them
in the daily papers.
According her statement they have had very lard
time in gaining slim oothold pub c favor-accOu'
pli'hsd amid much persecution iWs very sony for
them but do how could have been soherwse unds
the circumstances.
Public OPINION always recognizes merit IL chm be found
Hit fails to ecognine theirs why-wer, thsysve SYM
pahis In the article referred several statements ike
to mead the public and in justice to the latter and o
of due regard to our own Kind iend, wish to mskeas
following corrections We do mos, post.y aert ha. The
Florence Ssring Machine four distinct stitches and
we court investigation and defy contradiction That work.
from thin to thick fabrics uneven surface without
missing stitch, and without change Of ten,ion, needle
thread or stitch, challenge sveee'i denial Tha, vii,
greater rauge Of work than any sewing msche in u.
,oovid Is daily proved.
That positively has complete ssfadjusng tension oa
That the stitch Is alike both sides of the Fabric az
shuttle lock stitch nachns that the motions pOrtrdy
positire and movements exact and certain
Furthermore that Mr.. Tucker Chairman of tie judges
and ha, been Superintendent Assistant Super
intcndent of the Florence Factory.
| His name is scarcely remembered sppcye.
We have been thus decided because
determination do every justice to friends of the
thread fame-because that possibly by thsr unwittney
making certain parte statements, the moral mind Of the
whole public might become tainted
As to the comparative merits between single thresdooe
stitch and dOubebresd locksttch machines public opinion
has decided and practical experience has confirmed tho
decision, that people have plenty Of time to aud
e to do their work over or three times the rarns
single thesd loOp,ttch machines undoubtedly the be
hee persons unfortunate enough to have bot
work which Is important enough to be well done and which
they want to have ndyp when it ia done, they "Ht buy
doublethresd ksitch machines Now, the FLORENCE
MACHINE is the only which makes the four stitches Of

the only machine having tie cELEBRArED RsvERsiBrs

why our kind friends devotedy called the public to
examine it.
