THE FLORENCE
LOCK STITCH
SEWING MACHINES.
WHICH HAVE RECEIVED THE PREMIUM

WHEREVER EXHIBITED,
Are offered to the public as the latest embodiment
| of improvement in Sewing Machines. Special
| attention is invited to some Of the great i'm
provements over other Machines united in the
| Florence.
| 1t is the only Machine that makes four kind
| of stitch, three of which are made on no other
Machine, and are stronger and more elastic than
any other.
1t has tue reversible feed motion, which en-
ables the operator, by simply turning thumb
| screw, to have the work run either to the right
| or left, to stay any part OF the seam, or fasten
the ends Of the seams, without turning the fab
| rio.
1t is tie only Machine having a self-adjusting
| tension, great improvement.
| Its motions are all positive, there arc no
| springs to get out of order, and its simplicity
enables the most inexperienced to operate it.
1t does not require finer thread on the under
side than it does for the upper, and will sew
across the heaviest seam, or from one to more
| thickness of cloth, without change oftension or
breaking of thread.
II never slips stitches, and draws each stitch
up perfectly alike on each side.
The taking UP of the slack thread is not per-
formed by the irregular contraction of wire
coil or uncertain operation of wire levers. The
precision and accuracy with which the Flor
encc draws the lnTtdu luto tuc CiOtn Is uudp-
preached in any Sewing Machine hitherto offer
ed in the market.
II uses less thread than any other Machine.
It runs light and quiet.
1t can be easily managed by a child.
1t needs only to be seen to satisfy any one of
its superiority over all others.
Ithems any width, fells, cords, tucks, quilts,
gathers, and sews braid on skirts or coats all
without any previous basting.
Ii does more work and more kinds Of work
than any other Machine.
The needle cannot be set wrong.
1t is warranted to give satisfaction.
If any purchaser of the Florence is dissatis-
fed with it after a fair trial, will give in ex-
change any Sewing Machine of similar value
known to the trade.
Call and see the Florence at
MRS. NJ. J. BRYANT'S
Millinery Store, Public Square.
Any person wishing to see and try the Flo
renee Machine. upon application one will be
sent, free of charge, to any part of the country.

WIRE CLOTHES LINES.
i ATENT METALLIC
WHITE WIRE

Being manufactured in such manner, with
white metallic substance, it is prevented from
ever corroding or changing from its beautiful
white color, in any number of yeais OF time.
1t is neither affected by different temperature of
climate, nor by changes of atmosphere, and
firmly holds its uniform color through the Sc
vercst frost and inclenent weather. By exper-
iment, the utility of the line has been found the
only article which is free from the great an
noyance occurring from the old fashioned Rope
lines, which are continually rotting and break
ing down, soiling and discOloring clothes. By
using the wire clothes line all trouble is avoid
ed, as you are never obliged to take them
down after they are put up as they can be left
out in all sorts of weather.
The durability of the line is one of the great
est considerations, as it will last from thirty to
fifty years.
Another chief advantage of this line is that
clothes Will not freeze to it in cold weather. nor
will 1t break and let Your clothes fall in the
mud. Warranted not to injurc clothes in any
manner.
