NEW FAMILY MACHINE No other family
Sewing Machine has rapidIy won favor in
the household. The very large sales of that
popular machine, as shown by official rel urns,
far exceed those Of any other company, and
| this fact or result has been owing to its real
merits, hence its great and growing popu-

| Of the different attachments of our new family
| machine which have secured the attention and
| approval of our customers that for embroid-
! ering. like the Hemmer, is one of the few in
| struRlents which will most please and satisfy
the observer of its real value. 1t is so simple
in structure, that any one who can sew ON
our machine can use 1t, and without instruc-
| lions. 1t may be attached to or detached
from the machine in an instant Withouta
lengthy description, and even then, it would
be difficult to describe the great varetysof
work that this little instrument will do. The
reader must not suppose that what we speak
of is a mere chain stitch operation, which IS
sometimes humorously termed embroidery.
If desired, three colors of any kind of thread
may be used at any one time, and the colers
or thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and
putting others in their stead thus as many
oras few colors may be used as the operator
wishes. in the embroidering of any garment.
A great variety of results are produced by
the manner in which the tensions are regula-
ted. Different results may be produced while
the machine is in motion by simply changing
the tensions. Results vary according to the
| length of stitches. kinds, colors and tensions
| of the threads, as we'll as sizes of the needles
used. The eubroiderer will use any kind of
thread. The use of zephyr worsted for GER
tain purposes gives very pleasing results. In
order to get just idea of this valuable at
lachment it will be necessary to see it in
operation. .- m

| ask attertion to our new Bitten hole Ma
chine which is the only practical Button boss
Machine claiming public attention. Our
manufacturing machines, for other purposes,
are too well known to need comment
MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
larged our Silk Mills in Newark, n j., and
| furnished them with the latest and most inn
proved machinery, which is being operated
by highly skilled labor. We know and feel
the Importance OF not only supplying the
users of our machines, but the trade gener-
ally with the best quality of machine tl0iss,
I which we sell by measure rather than by
weight. The system of selling by weight has
given manufacturers the opportunity Of so
heavily Weighing silk in the process Of dye
ing as not only to greatly injure its quality,
but also convey a wrong impression about its
| quantity. In this respect We mean to be above
suspicion. The manner in which the sizes Of
| silk are graduated is also matter of gre at
| importance, but we use the greatest possible
care that the graduating shall be exceeding
ly accurate. In addition to manufacturing
from the best quality of raw silk, the evenness
| of thread and beauty of finish of the manu-
featured article will not, we think, be sooa
surpassed. Each spool of silk manufactured
by US. of any particular size or letter, irres-
pective of weight, contains the number OF
yards printed thereon. Length, strength.
size, quality and finish of the thread are
/ be looked TO rather than weight. We ars
now silk manufacturers on large scale and
feel that large trade can only be retained
by us in furnishing superior article at q
fair price. If other brands Of Twist be
offered at less price than ours, purchasers
may rest assured that it is inferior in quality,
/ deficient in quantity, or both.
/ We have, and shall keep in stock at our
/ Central Office, and various agencies, Twist
of all sizes, and of all tho various colors and
shades of color in use, and which will be sold
at New York prices. 4s-
