greet value. Among the most recent Of the
attachments is the
EMBR0IDERER.
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. Il is so simple
in structure, that any one who can sew en-
our machine can use It, and without instruc-
tions. 1t may be attached to or detached
from the machine in an instant. Without d
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 mere chain stitch operation, which Is
sometimes humorousiy termed embroidery.
If desired, three colors Of any kind of thread
may be used at any one time, and the colols
or thread may be ged at the will of the
operator, by removing the spCots 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 g:rm mt
\ 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
The tensions. Results vary according to the
length of stitches. kinds, colors and tensions
OF the threads, as well as sizes of the needles
used The eubroderer viii USE any kind cf
thread The use Of zephyr yorsted for GER
tain purposes gives very pleasing results. In
order to gel just iiea Of this valuable at
lachment 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 practica5 Button hole
Machine claiming public attention. Oar
manufacturing machines, for Other purposes,
are too well known TO need comment.
MACHINE TWISTING haze recently en-
larged our Silk Mills in Newark, n j., AMI
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 mGcai0e f1rist,
which we sell by measure rather than by
weight The system Of selling by W, light has
given manufacturers the opportunity of So
heavily weighing silk III the process OF dye
ing us not only to greatly injdre its quality,
but also convey a wrong impression about its
quantity. In this respect We mean to be above
suspicion The manner in which the sizes of
silk are graduated is also matter OF great
Importance, bat use the greatest possible
care thai the graduating shall 6e exceeding
ly accurate In addition to manufacturing
from The best quality ofraw silk, the evenness
of thread and beauty Of finish OF The manu-
facturetl article will not, we think, be soon
surpassed. Each spool Of silk manufactured
by US, Of any particular size or letter, irres
pecive Of weight contains the number of
yards printed thereon. Length, strength,
size, quality and finish of the thread are to
be looked 10 rather thaa weight. We are
now silk manufacturers on large scale, and
feel that a large trade can only be retained
by US in furnishing a superior article at
tair price. Ii other brands of Twist he
offered at less price than ours purchasers
may rest assured that ii is inferior in quality,
deficient in quantity, or both.
We have, and shall keep in stock at cur
Central Office, and various agencies, Twist
of all sizes, and CT all the various eolors and
shades Of color in use, and which will be sold
at New York prices.
