thread, and with the numerous attachments for

is the most perfect Of all family sewing machines.
Any one who will take the trouble I'd examine tha
merits of the different machines claiming atten-
ton, can soon discover whether We claim toe
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 o trial, for 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.
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
meddlesome fingers, are made from choice woods.

piece of furniture, but in some of the more elab-
orately finished machines work Of real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS 7*~ts
OF our new family machine, above referred 10,
are not only numerous, but highly useful for the
purposes for which they were intended. They
need only q trial to show their great value
Among the most recent of the attachments ia the

machine which have secu2ed..he attention and
approval of our customers that for embroider-
ing, like the Hcmmer, is one of tia few instrn-

thread may be used at any one time, and the coll
ors OF thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and puts

in the embroidering Of any garment great
variety of results are produced by the manner IN
which the tensions regulated. Different res
suits may be produced while the machine il 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 szea
of the needles used. The Embroderer will use
any kind of thread. The use Of zepher worsted
for certain purposes gives very pleasant re- ults

MANUFACTURING MACHlNEs.-We would
ask attention TO our new Butien-hole Machine,
which is the only practical Button hole Machine
claiming public attention. Our manufacturing
machines for other purposes, are too we'll known
to need comment.
MACHINE TWIST.-Wc have recently cn-
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 our machines, hut
the trade generally with the best quality of Ma
CHINE TWIST, which we sell by MEASURE rathec
han by WEIGHT. The system of selling by weight
has given manufacturers the opportunity of SO
heavily weighing silk in the process Of dyeinE
not only to greatly iniure its quality, but also
convey wrong impression about Its quantity.
In this respect we mean to be above suspicion
The manner in WHICH the szes Of silks are grad
uated is also matter Of great importance, but
we USE ths greatest possible care that The graaA-
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,
be soon surpassed Each spool of silk manufaO-
tured by US, of any particular size or letter, ir:
| respective of weight, contains the number Of
| yards printed thereon. Length, strength, size
quality and finish of the thread are to be locked
to rather than weight. Weare now silk manu-
fac'urers on large scale and feel that a large
trade can only be retained by us in furnishing q
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 IL
quality, deficient in quantity, az 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:
