II makes four different stitches, the Lock, Knot
Double Lock and Double Knot, on one and the same

the operator. by simply turning thumb-screw, to
have the work either to the right left, to stay
any part of the same fasten the ends of the seams,
without turning the fabric.
Changing the length of the stitch. and from
kind of stitch to another, can readily be done while
the Machine is in motion.
Every stitch is perfect in ITSELF making the seam
secure and uniform.
1t is almost noiseess, and can be used where quiet
S snecessary.
It's motions are 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.
It's stitch is the wonder of ALL because of its COM
bined elasticity, strength and beauty.
1t does the heaviest or finest work with equal fa-
cility. without change of tension or machinery.
Every machine has of Jencks Patent Hem
mers attached. (the right to use which control)
enabling the operator to turn any width of hem de-
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, 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 letters patent.
To avoid the strain on the eyes, bent posture, close
application, and fatigung care, heretofore
on large proportion of work done sewing ma
chimes, furnish each Machine with "Barnum's
SelfSewer," which guides the work ITSELF and is of
incaculable value especially to inexperienced ope-
rators.
While possessing the above. and many other ad-
vantages the Florence sold at corresponding prices
with other frst-class machines.
