May number endorses the Florence Sew
lng-Machine, in connection with some
others, and states that they would not
part with their seWing-machine, provided
they could get no more for $500. We
queue lnelf argument IN defense of the
statement: 1.-THE $500 could be invested
in U. S. bonds and bring perhaps $50 a
year interest. The sewing in one large
family can seldom be done bv two full
days week of steady hand-sewing, or
four months in year. But with any one
OF these machines woman can sew at
least eight times as fast as by hand: but.
allowing for all the basting, etc, call It
only four times as fast. Then with a
SeWng-machine three out offOur months
sewing can be easily saved! Can any one
hlre and board a seamstress three months
for S36. We ElOIU that any one Of our
IoWer-priced scWing-machines PAYS for
itself every year with us. Then there is
another important consideration. The
cramped chests, the rounded shoulder, the
detormed spines, the injured eyesight, all
so common among those who sew much
with the needle, are avoided by those who
use machine. The benefit in this re-
spect by far outweighs the cost of the ma
chine
$50 much for what we think and know
about seWing-machines. IFe ditc0Bs uC3-
else erclY man a0hO asks Our opinion to act
some good machine for his house, eUei5 If
he has to ScH an acre Of land TO dO it,
We would add that for family use there
IS no machine giving such universal sat
IStactlon i'll all points as the "Florence
Lock-Stitch Reversible Feed Machine"
