Double Lock and Double Knot, on and the same
machine Each stitch being alike both sides of
the fabric
It has the reversible feed notion which enables
the operator, by simply turning thumb-screw, to
have the work run either to the right left to stay
any part of the same or fasten the ends of the seams
without turning the fabric.
Changing the length of the stitch, and from one
kind of stitch to another readily be done while
the Machine is in motion.
Every stitch is perfect in itself, making the seam
secure and uniform.

Its motions all positive: there are no springs to
get out of order and its simplicity enables the most
inexperienced to operate it.
1t will not oil the dress of the operator as all the
machinery is on the top of the table.
1t is the most rapid sewer in the world making
five stitches to each revolution.
Its stitch is the wonder of all, because of its
bined elasticity strength and beauty.
1t does the heaviest or finest work with equal IA
cility, without change of tension machinery.

sired.
There is no other Machine which will do so large
range of work as the Florence"
1t does not require finer thread on the under side
than it does on the upper.
The needle is more easily adjusted than in any
other Machine.
1t will sew across the heaviest seams, or from one
to more thicknesses of CLOTH without change of ten
sion or breaking of thread.
1t is fully protected and licensed by Elias Howe,
Jr, and his associates and our own letters patent
To avoid the strain the eyes, bent posture, close
application, and atigung care, heretofore necessary
a large proportion of work done sewing ma
chimes, we furnish each Machine with "Barnum's
Self-Scwer," which guides the work ITSELF and is of
incalculabe value, especially to inexperienced ope
rators.
While possessing the above, and many other sd-
vantages the Florence is sold at corresponding prices
with other frst-class machines.
