THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CoNPA-
NY'S NEW FAMILY MACHINE.-No other fam
ily Sewing Machine has so rapidly won favor IN
the household. The very large sales of that
popular machine, as shown by official returns,
far exceed those Of any other company, and this
fact or result has been owing to its real merits
hence its great and growing popularity. 1t IL
simple in construction, easily understood, easily
operated-all its parts gliding smoothly and nois-
lessly along liable to get out of order, has
capacity for great range and variety OF work.
sewing all kinds of cloth and with all kinds OF
thread, and with the numerous attachments for
hemming, cording, tlcking quilting, trimming
binding, braiding, &c., and embroidering OF
MANY ingenious, tasteful and difficult Designs
is the most perfect of all family sewing machines
Anv one who will take the trouble to examine the
merits of the different machines claiming atten-
ton. can soon discover whether We claim too
much for ours. II would avail us nothing TO
make the above assertions if we were not ready
to prove them, and all we ask IS q trial. Tor oo-
seryation alone can justly convey clear impress
sion of the many. kinds Of work Of which our
NEW FAMILY MACHINE is capable. -ass.
THE FOLDING CASES.
Which open with spacious tables to sustain the
work, and which fold into tables or boxes to pro-
tect the machines, when not in use, from dust and
embellished by pleasing designs, thus making
our new, family machine not only an ornamental
piece of furniture but in some of the more elab-
orately finished machines work Of real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS
Of our new family machine, above referred to,
are not only numerous, but highly useful for the
purposes for which they were intended. They
need only trial to show their great value
Among the most recent of the attachments is the
$50 EMBROIDERER.
~ the different attachmenfs Of our new family
machine which have secured the attention and
approval of our customers that for embrolder-
inc like the uemmer, is one of the few lnstru-
ments which will most please ana satisfy the oo-
server of its real value 1t is so simple III strac
ture that any one who can sew on our machine
can use it, and without instruction. It may be
attached to or detached from the machine IN an
;nstant. without q lengthy description, and
even then, it would be difficult to describe the
great variety of work that this little instrument
will do. The reader must not suppose'that whit
we sneak of is mere chain stitch operation,
,sb;ch ia sometimes humorously termed embroid-
ery. If desired, three colors OF any Kind Ell
thread may be used at any one time, ana the col
ors Of thread may be changed at the Will OF the
operator, by removing the spoois IN use anu put
fine others in their stead thus as many or as
few colors NAV be used as the operator wishes,
in the embroidering of any garment. gfeat
variety of results are produced by the manner IN
which the tensions are regulated Dlnerent re-
sults NAV be produced while the machine is IN
motion by simply changing the tens1on;- hesu,ts
vary according to the length OF stltehes' Alnas'
coors and tensions Of the threads as weil as sizes
of the needles used. The Embroiderer will use
anv hind Of thread, The use of zepher worsted
for certain purposes gives very pleasant results,
In order to get lust idea ofthis valuable attaeh-
ment Fl will be necessary to see it in operation.
MANUFACTURING MACHlNES.-We would
ask attention to our new Button-hoie Macnlne,
which is the Only practical Button hole Machine
claiming public attention. Our manoiacturlhg
machines, for other purposes, are too wen known
to need comment.
MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
1aroed our Silk Mills in Newark, NJ. and iurn-
ished them with the latest and most approved ma
chinery, which is being operated by highly sk,iiea
labor. We know and feel the Importance OF NOT
only supplying the users Of our Machines ou'
the trade generally with the best quality OF M
CHINE TWIST which we sell by MEASURE ratner
than by WEIGHT. The system OF selling oy weyns
has given manufacturers the opportunity OF so
heavily weighing silk in the process of dyeing
as not only to greatly inure its quality but also
convey wrong impression about It's qaantl'y
In this respect we mean to be above susplcion.-
The manner in which the sizes of silks are grad
uated is also matter of great Importance ou'
we use the greatest possible care that the graeu
ating shall be exceedingly accurate. In ADDITION
to manufacturing from the best quality Of raw
silk. the evenness of thread and beauty of finish
of the manufactured article will not, we think
surpassed Each sp0o, Of essr
respective of weight, contains the numper OF
Yards printed thereon Length, strength, size,
quality and finish of the thread are to be looked
to rather than weight. Waare now silk manu-
facturers on large scale, and feel that large
trade can only be retained by Us in furnishing "a
superior article at fair price. If other brands
of Twist be offered at less price than ours pur-
chasers may rest assured that it is inferior II
quality, deficient in quantity, or both.
We have and shall keep in stock at our Contra
Office. and various agencies, Twist of all si.es, ane
Of the various colors and shades Of color In use
and which will be sold ct New York prices.
