THE SINGER MANUFACTURING co.'s
NEW FAMILY MACHINE NO other family
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 popu-
| larity. 1t is simple in construction, easily
I understood. easily operated, all its parts Gid
| ing smoothly and noiselessiy along-not La
BILE 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 hem
ming, eerding, tueking, quilting, trimming
binding, braiding, &C., and embroidering of
| many ingenious, tasteful and if6cult designs
Is the most perfect of all family sewing mach
ines. Any one who will take the trouble to
| examine the merits of the different machines
! claiming attention.. can soon discover whether
we claim too much for ours. 1t would avail
us nothing to make the above assertions if we
were not ready to prove them, and all we ask
| is a trial, for observation alone can Justly
convey a clear impression of the many kinds
| of work of which our NEW FAMILY MACHINE is
| capable.
THE FOLDING CASES,
[ Which open with spacious tables to sustain
| the work. aid which fold into tables or boxes
/ to protect the machines, when not in use, from
dust and meddlesonae fingers, are made from
choice woods, embellished by pleasing designs,
| thus making our new family machine not only
an ornamental piece of furniture, but in some
of the more deliberately finished machines, a
work of real art.
THE AcHMFNTS
| OF our new family machine, above referred
to, are not only numerous but highly useful
for the purposes for which they were intend
ed. They need only trial to show their
greet value. Among the most recent of the
| attachments is the
I EMBROIDERED.
/ Of the different attachments of our new family
machine which have secured the attention and
| approval of our customers that for embrod-
| ering> like the Hemmer, is one of the few in
sruments which Will most please and satisfy
| the observer of its real value. It is so simple
in structure, that any one who can sew on
our machine can use 1t, and without instruc-
TONS 1t may be attached to or detached
l from the machine in an instant. Without
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 what we speak
of is a mere chain stitch operation, which Is
sometimes humorousy termed embroidery.
If desired, three colors of any kind of thread
may be used at any one time, and the colors
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
or a 5 few colors may be used as the operator
wishes, in the embroidering of any gam ,nt.
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
he teasions> 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 embroderer will use. any kind Of
thread. The use of zephyr Worsted for Ger
tain purposes gives very pleasing results. Ia
order to get just idea of this valuable at
tachment it will be necessary to see it in
operation.
MANUFACTURING MACHINE. We would
ask attention to our new Button hole Ma
chine, which is the only practical Button-hole
Machi lie claiming public attention. Our
manufacturing machines, for otheI purposes,
are too well known to need comment
MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
larged cur Silk Mills in Newark, j., and
furnished them with the latest and most i'm
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 t,cisf,
which we sell by measure rather than by
weight The system of selling by wight 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 q wrong impression about It's.
quantity. In this respect we mean to be above
suspicion The manner in which the sizes of
silk are graduated is also a matter of great
Importance, but we use the greatest possible,
care that the graduating shall BE- exceeding
lily 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 soon
/ surpassed. Each spool of silk manufactured
by US, of any particular size or letter, irres-
. pectiye of weight, contains the number of
yards printed thereon. Length. strength,
size, quality and finish of the thread are TO
be looked to rather than. weight. We are
now silk manufacturers on large scale, and
feel that large trade can only be retained
} by US in furnishing superior article at "a
I fair price. If other brands of Twist be
offered at less price than ours, purchasers
may rest assured that it is inferior in quality,
f deficient ia quantity, or both.
l We have, and shall keep in stock at our,
Central Office, and various agencies. Twist
: of all sizes, and of all the various eolors and
shades of color in use, and which will be sold
at New York prices
