this fact or result has been owing to its real
merits, hence it's great and growing popu~

kinds of cloth and with all kinds of thread

binding, braiding, &c.. aud embroidering Of
many ingenious, tasteful and difficult designs,
Is the most perfect of all family sewing mach
ines. Any one who will take the trouble to
examine the merits of the different machines
claiming attention. can soon discover whether
we claim too much for ours. II would avail
US nothing to make the above assertions we
were not ready to prove them, and all we ask
| is trial. for observation alone can Justly
convey clear impression of the many kinds
of work of which our NEW FAMILY xAcHIsn 10
capable.

| Which open with spacious tables to sustain
| the work. aud which fold into tables or boxes
| to protect the machines, when not in use from
! dust and meddlesome fingers, sre made from
| choice woods, embellished by pleasing designs.
| thus making new family machine not only
| an ornamental piece of furniture but in some
of the more elaborately finished machines,
work of real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS.
or our new family machine, above referred
| to, are not only numerous but highly useful
| for the purposes for which they were intend
| ed. They need only q trial to show their
great value. Among the most recent of tho
| attachments is the
EMBROIDERER.
| Of the different attachments OF our new family
| machine which have secured the attention and
| approval of our customers that for embrod-
ering, like the Hemmer, is one of the few in
struments which will most please and satisfy
| the observer of its real value. It is 80 simple
in structure, that any one who can sew on
our machine can use It, and without instruo-
! 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.
| II desired, three colors of any kind of thread
may be used at any one time, and the colsrs
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 gar n.nt.
A 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 eubroiderer will use any kind Of
thread. This use of zephyr worsted for GER
tain purposes gives very pleasing results. In
order to get q just idea of this valuable at
tachment it will be necessary TO see it in
operation. @---
MANUFACTURERS MACHINE. We would
ask attention to our new ButtoR-hole Ma
chine, which is the only practical Button hole
Machine claiming public attention. Our
manufacturing machines, for other purposes,
are too well known to need comment.
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 machine t,r1s.
which we sell by measure rather than by
weight. The system of selling by weight has
given manufacturers the opportunity Of 50
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. The manner in which the sizes Of
silk are graduated is also 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 ofraw silk, the syenness
of thread and beauty of finish of the manu-
featured article will not, We think, be sooA
surpassed. Each spool of silk manufactured
| by us, of any particular size or letter, irres-
| pective of weight, contains the number oe
yards printed thereon. Length, strength.
size, quality and finish of ths thread ere 10
be looked to rather than weight We are
now silk manufacturers OF large scale, and
feel that large trade can only be retained
by US in furnishing a superior article at
| 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, Twiss
! of all sizes, and of all the various colors and
shades of color in use, and which will be sold
at New York prices.
