TIE SINGER SEWING MACHINES.


| THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO. &
| NEW FAMILY MACHINE No other family
| Sewing Machine has SO rapidly won favor in
| the household. The very large sales of that
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 popu-
larlty. 1t IS simple in construction, easily
understood. easily operated, all its parts rli,l-
ing smoothly and noiselessly aong-not liza
bic 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 hem
ming. cording tucking, quilting. trimming,
| binding, bralding, &c, and embroidering of
many Ingenious tasteful and difficult desiens.
Is the most perfect of all family sewing mack.
ines. ANY one who will take the trouble to
examine the merits of the different machines
| claiming attention. can soon discover whethar
we claim too much for ours. II would avail
| US nothing to make the above assertions if 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 MACHINE is
| capable.
THE FOLDING CASES,
| Which open with spacious tables to sustain
| the work. aud which fold into tables or boxns
to protect the machines, when not in use. from
dust and meddlesome fingers, are made from
| choice woods, embellished by pleasing designs.
thus making new family machine not oniy
an ornamental piece of furniture, but in some
Of the more deliberately finished machines, a
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 intend
ed. They need onlya trial to show their
greet value. Among the most recent of the
| attachments is the
EMBR0IDERER.
| Of the different attachments of our new family
| machine which have secured the attention and
| approval of our customers that for embroid
ering, like the Hemmer, is one of the few in
| struments which will most please and satisfy
| the observer of its real value. 1t is so simple
in structure, that any one who can sew ON
our machine can use 1t, and without instruc-
lions 1t may be attached to or detached
/ from the machine in an instant. Without n
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 what we speak
| Of is mere chain stitch operation which IS
sometimes humorously termed embroidery.
| If desired, three colors Of any kind of thread
| may be used at any one time, and the colors
or thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and
putting others in their stead thus az MANY
or as few coors may be used as the operator
wishes, in the embroidering of anv @; rm mt
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 embroiderer will use any kind of
thread. The use of zephyr Horsted for GER
tain purposes gives very pleasing results. In
order TO get a just idea of this valuable at
Gach1nent it will be necessary TO see it in
| operation.
| MANUFACTURING MACHINE. We would
ask attention to our new Button hole Ma
chine, which is the only practical Button hole
| Mach lie claiming public attention Oar
manufacturing machines, for other purposes.
are too well known to need comment
MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
arged our Silk Mills in Newark, 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 trist,
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 use the greatest possible
care that the graduating shall be exceeding
| ly accurate. In addition to manufacturing
from the best quality of raw silk, the evenness
of thread and beauty Of finish of the manu-
featured article will not, we think, be soon
surpassed Each spool of silk manufacture ed
by US. of any particular size or letter. irres-
pective of weight, contains the number of
yards printed thereon. Length, strength,
size quality and finish of the thread are TO
be looked 10 rather than weight We are
now silk manufacturers on large scale, and
feel that large trade can only be retained
by us in furnishing superior article at q
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, Twist
of all sizes, and of all the various colors and
shades of color in use, aud which will be sold
at New York prices.
