THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CoMpA-
NY'S NEW FAMILY MACHINE.-No other fam
lily Sewing Machine has so rapidly won favor i'll
the household. The very large salaa of that
popular machine, as shown by official returns,
| far exceed those of any other company, and this
| fact result has been owing to Its real merits
hence its great and growing popularity. 1t is
simple in construction, easily understood, easily
operated-all its parts gliding smoothly and nois-
iGssly along not liable to get out of order has
capacity for a great range and variety of work,
sewing all kinds Of cloth and with all kinds Of
thread, and with the numerous attachments for
hemming, cording, tucking, quitting, trimming,
binding, braiding, &C., and embroidering of
many ingenious, tasteful and difficult designs
is the most perfect of all family sewing ma chimes
Any one who will take the trouble to examines the
merits'of the different machines claiming atten-
ton, can soon discover whether claim too
much for ours. 1t would avail us nothing so
make the above assertions il we not ready
to prove them, and all we ask is trial, for OBJ
servation alone can justly Convey clear impress
sion of the many..ki Of week Of WHICH OUT
NEW FAMILY MACHINE is capable.
THE FOLDING CASES,
Which open with spacious tables to sustain ths
work, and which fold into tables or boxes to pro-
tect the machines, when not in use, from dust and
meddlesome fingers, made from choice woods,
embellished by pleasing designs, thus making
cur new family machine not only an ornamental
piece of furniture, but in some of the more elab~
ors..ely finished machines work of real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS
Of our new family machine, above referred tc,
not only numerous, but highly useful for the
purposes for which they were intended. They
need only trial to show their great value
Among the most recent of the attachments Is tho
EMBROIDERER. -asiag
Of the different attachments of our new family
machine which have secured the attention and
approval of customers that for embroider-
ing, like the Hemmer, is one of the few instru-
ments which will most please and satisfy the Oh
server of its real vaue. 1t is so simple in gtruc-
ture that any one who can sew on our machine
can use it, and without instruction. 1t may be
attached to or detached from the machine in
instant. Without a lengthy description, and
even them it would be difficult to describe tie
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 tiny KIND cf
thread may be used at any one time, and the coll
ors of thread may be changed st the will Of tie
operator, by removing the spools in use and put
ting others in their stead : thus many
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 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, 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 it IN operation.

machines for other purposes are too well known
to need comment.

only supplying the users of our machines, but
the trade generally with the best quality of MA
CHINE TWIST, which we sell by MEASURE rather
shan by WEIGHT. The system Of selling by fright
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 matter of great importance. but
we use the greatest possible care that the gradu
ating shall be exceedingly accurate. In addition
silk, the evehness of thread and beauty of finish
of the manufactured article will not, W: think.
be soon surpassed. Each spool of silk manufac-
tured by u.s. 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 on large scale, and feel that large
trade can only be retained by us in furnishing
superior article at fair price If other brands
of Twist be offered at less price than ours, rni
ohasers 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 the various colors and shades of color i'll use,
and which will be sold at New York prices.
