machine which have secured the, attention, aud
approval of our customers that for embroider-

ture, that any one who sew on our machine
can use it, and without instruction. 1t may. Be
attached to or detached from the machine inia On
instant Without 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 hat

which is sometimes humorousyI termed embreid
cry If desired, three c0lors of any kind Of
thread may be used at any one time, and the col
ors of thread may be changed st the will Of tie
operator, by removing the spools in use and putt

variety of results are produced by the manneg.ln
which the tensions are regulated. Different, II.
suits may be produced while the machine is in
motion by simply changing the tensions. Results
vary according to the length of stitches, kinds,
coors and tensions Of the Threads as we'll Az sizes

. MANUFACTURING MACHINES: I've " os,ld
ask attention to our new Button-hole Machine,
which is the only practical Button hole Maelipe
claiming public attention. Our manufacturing
machines, fol other purposes, are too well known
to need comment
MACHINE TWISTING have rcaently en-
larged our Silk Mills in Newark, Nj, and fuln-
ished them with the latest and most approved ma
ohinery which is being operated by highly skilled
labor. We know and feel the importanceadf nas-
only supplying the users of our machines, hui
the trade generally with the best quality of M
CHINE TwlsT, which we sell by MEASURE rather
than by WEIGHT. The system Of selling by weighf
has given manufacturers the opportuniiyseof
heavily wei Citing silk in the process of digging
not only to greatly iniure its quality but also
convey wrong impression about it's quantity.
In this respect we mean to be above 'suspicion1
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
to manufacturing from the best quality of 1aw
silk, the evchness of thread and beauty of finish
OF the manufactured article Will nor NJ think,
be soon surpassed Each spool of silk manufac-
tured by us, of any particular size or letter.<ir-
respective of weight, contains the number Of
yards printed thereon. Length, strength, sise,-
quality and finish of the thread are to be looked
to rather than weight. We are now silk manu-
faciurers on large scale, and feel that d large
trade can only be retained by us,in furnishing
superior article at a fair price. If other brands
of Twist be offered at less price than ours, pur-
ehasers may rest assured ithat it is inferior in
quality. deficient in quantity, or both. aHt.'iR
