EMBROIDERED.
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
struments which will most please and satisfy
the observer of its real value. 1t is SO simple
in structure, that any one whe 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 Without
lengthy description, and even then, it would
be difficult to describe the great varietysof
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 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 as 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 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 embroidercr win use any kind Of
thread The use Of zephyr Worsted for GER

Machine claiming public attention. Our

MACHINE TWIST.-We have recently en-
larged our Silk Mills in Newark, N 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 machme taoist,
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 wrong impression about Its
quantity. In this respect we mean to be above
Suspicion. Inc manner III WHICH the siLeS VI
silk are graduated is also a matter Of great
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 soon
surpassed. Each spool of silk manufactured
by u.s. 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 to
be looked to rather than weight. We are
now silk manufacturers on a large scale, and
feel that large trade can only be retained
by us in furnishing a superior article at a
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 the various colors and
shades Of color in use. and which will be sold
at New York prices
