NY'S NEW FAMILY MAC HINE.- Mo other fam
lily Sewing Machine has so rapidly won favor in
he household. The very large sales of that
popular mach ne, 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 is
simple in construction, easily understood, easily
operated its parts gliding smoothly and nois-
lessly along mot liable to get out OF order has
capacity for great range and variety OF. wqfk,
sewing all kinds of cloth and with all kinds of
thread, and with the numerous attachments for
hemming, cording, tucking, quilting, trimming,
binding, braiding, &C., and embroidering Of
many ingenious, tasteful and difficult designs,
is the most perfect Of all family sewing hines.
Any 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 1t would avail us nothing to
make the above ssertions if we were not ready
to prove them, and all we ask is trial, tqs OBJ
servation alone can justly convey clear impress
sion of the many kinds of work. of which our
NEW FAMILY MACHINE is capable.
THE FOLDING CASES. s. 50
Which open with spacious tables to sustain ting
work, and which fold into tables or boxes to pro-
tect the machines, when not in use, from dust and
meddesome fingers, are made from choice woods,
our new family machine not only an ornamental
piece of furniture, but in some of the more e1ab-
orately finished machines work of real art.
~. THE ATTACHMENTS sge ~
Of our new family machine, above referred ia,
are not only numerous, but highly useful for tha
purposes for which they were intended. They
need only trial to show their great value
Among the most recent of the attachments is the
EMBROIpERER.
Of the different dttachmeats of our new family
machine which have secured the attention and
approval of our custoEcrs that for embroider.
ing, like the Hemmer, is one of the few instru-
ments which will most please and satisfy the OBJ
server of its real value. 1t is so simple in struc
ture that any one who can sew our machine
can use it, and without instruction. It may be
attached to or detached from the machine in ON
instant. Without o lengthy description, ami
even then, it would be difficult 10 describe the
great variety of work that this little instrument
will do. The reader must not suppose that what
we speak of is mere chain stitch operation,
which is sometimes humorously termed embroid-
cry. If desired, three colors of any kind ef
thread may be used at any one time, and the cois
ors Of thread may be changed at the will OF the
operator, by removing the spools in use and put
ting others in their stead thus as many or as
few colors may be used as the operator wishes,
in the embroidering of any garment. A great
variety Oh results are pfUuuCeu ny !He Hiduuc4 III
which the tensions regulated. Different re-
suits 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 well sizes
of the needles used. The Embroiderer will use
| any kind of thread. The use of zepher worsted
for certain purposes gives very pleasant results;
In order to get Just idea of this valuable attach
ment it will be necessary to see ii III operation
MANUFACTURING MACHlNES-We would
ask attention to our new Button-hole Machine,
which is the only practical Button-hole Machine
claiming public attention. Cur manufacturing
machines for other purposes, arc too well known
/ to need comment.
MACHINE TWISTING have recently ems
larged our Silk Mills in Newark, N J., and fnrn-
ished them with the latest and most approved ma
chinery, which is being operated by highly skilled
labor. We know and feel the Importance of not
| only supplying the users Of machines but
the trade generally with the best quality of Ma
CHINE TWIST which we sell by MEASURE rather
than by WEIGHT. The system'of selling by aeeight
| has given manufacturers the opportunity of SO
heavily weighing silk in the process of dyeing
not only to greatly injure its quality, but also
convey wrong impression about its quantity.
| In this respect we mean to be above suspicion
The manner in which the sizes of silks are grad
uated is also a matter Of great importance, but
we use the greatest possible care that the gradu7
at1ng shall DC exceedingly accurate III dNui.iolt
| to manufacturing from the best quality of raw
silk the eyenness Of thread and beauty of finish
of the manufactured article will not, We think,
be soon surpassed. Each spool Of silk manufac-
tured by US, of any particular size or Letter, IL
respective 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 manu-
facturers a large scale, and feel that 9 large
trade can only be retained by us in furnishing q
superior article at a fair price If other brands
of Twist be offered at less price than ours, PUP
chasers may rest assured that it is inferior il,
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 the various colors and shades of color in use,
and which will be sold at New York prices
