THE SINGER
SEWING MACHINES.


THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CONlPA.
NY'S NEW FAMILY MACHINE.-No other fam
lily Sewing Machine has SO rapidly won favor IL
the household. The very large sales Of thai
popular machine, as shown by official returns
far exceed those of any other company, and this
fact or 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-
lessly along mot liable to get out of order, has
capacity for a great range and q variety of work,
sewing all kinds of cloth and with all Kinds OF
thread, and with the numerous attachments for
hemming, cording, tucking, quilting, trimming,
binding, braiding, &C., and embroidering OF
many ingenious, tasteful and Difficult designs,
is the most perfect of all family sewing machines.
Any one who will take the trouble to examine the
merits Of the different machines claiming atten-
ton, can soon discover whether we claim too
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, a, 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.
y 80 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,
embellished by pleasing designs, thus making
our new family machine not only an ornamental
piece of furniture, but in some Of the more elab-
orately finished machines work of real art.
- THE ATTACHMENTS -
OF our new family machine, above referred to,
are 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 the
EaIBROIDERER. !!
Of the different attachments of our new family
machine which have secured the attention and
approval of our customers that for embroider-
ing, like the Hemmer, is one of the few instru-
ments which will most please and satisfy the OBJ
server Of its real value. 1t is SO simple in struc-
ture, that any one who can sew, on our, machine
can useit, and without instruction. 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 variety of work that this little instrument
Will do.a 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 coors, of any kind. Of
thread may be used at any one time, and the col
orssof thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and put
ting others in their stead thus as many or as
few colors may be used as the operator wishes,
In the embroidering ofany 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 of the Threads well as 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.
MANUFACTURING MACHINES.-We would
ask attention to our new Button-ole Machine,
which is the only practical Button-hoe Machine
claiming public attention. Our manufacturing
machines, for other purposes, are too well known
to need comment. iiHa ta' i'feTf'i eg'a9 9sa9tg
= MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
larged our Silk Mills in Newark, N. j., and furn-
ished them with the latest and most approved ma
chinery, which is being operated byhighly skilled
labor. We know and feel the Importance of not
only supplying the users of our machines, but
the trade generally with the best quality of Ma
CHINE TwIsr, which we SELF by MEASURE rather
than bywBIG HT.i The system of selling by aceight
has given manufacturers the opportunity of SO
heavily weighing silk in the process of dyeing
as notonly to greatly injure its quality but also
conveya 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 q 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 raw
silk, the eyenness Of thread and beauty of finish
of the manufactured article will not, we 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, size,
quality and finish of the thread are to be looked
osrather than weight. We are now silk manu-
facturers on large SCALE and feel that a 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-
chasers may rest assured that it is inferior in
quality, deficient in quantity, or both. y ..-.
We have and shall keep in stock at our Central
Office, and various agencies, Twist Of all sizes, and
If the various colors and Shades Of color in use,
