sometimes sent me out of it. have often
wondered if this could not be remedied,

This seems to me great gain on all that
have preceded. Then find another ::ad.
vantage This-machine is worked with
much less outlay of strength to the operator
than any other. Many delicate women l
know have been obliged to desist altogether
from the use of sewing machines on account
of the exhaustion produced by it. think
such could with ease manage this. 1t is
much less complicated tha, any other, and
consequently more easily understood, and
less liable to arrangement, recommends
tions which are great objects to residents
out Of the city, who cannot easily call in
assistance when needed. It is aso very
light, and perfectly easy of transportation
from one part of the room or the house to
another.
My dressmaker, who has had ten years.
experience in sewing machines, gives this
her unqualified preference. myself have
owned one of another make, for eight years,
which, in my judgment, does not approach
this for utility. For all the reasons above
stated, give my hearty preference to the
