THE SINGER MANUFACTURING CO.'S
NEW FAMILY MACHINE.-No other family
Sewing Machine has so rapidly won favor in the
household. The very large sales Of that popu-
lar machine, as shown by official returns, far
exceed those Of any other company, and this
act or result has been owing to It's real merits
hence Its great and growing popularity. 1t Is
simple in construction, easily understood, easily
operated-all its parts gliding smoothly and
noselessly 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 attach
ments for hemming, cording, tucklng, quilting,
trimming, binding, braidlng, &C., and embroi-
dering 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 mach ines
claiming attention, 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 observation alone can Justly convey a
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 ,and which fold into tables or boxes to pro-
tect the machines, when not In use, from dust
and meddesome fingers, are made from choice
woods, embelllshed by pleasing designs thus
max Ing our new family machine not only an or
namental piece of furniture, but In some of the
more deliberately finished machines, q 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
EMBROIDERER.
OF the different attachments of our new family
machine which have secured the attention and
approval of our customers that for embroldering,
like the Hemmcr, is one of the few instruments
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 it, and without instruction. 1t may be at
tached to or detached from the machine in an
instant. Without lengthy descrip tion, and
even then, 1t 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 a mere chain stitch opera
ton, 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 as
many or as few colors may be used as the oper-
ator wishes, in the embroidering of any garment.
great variety of results are produced by the
manner in which the tensions are regulated.
Different results may be produced while the ma
chine is in motion by simply changing the ten
sions. Results vary according to the length OF
stitches kinds colors and tensions of the threads,
as we'll as sizes of the needles used. The EN- :
broidercr will use any kind of thread. The use
of zephyr worsted for certain purposes gives
very pleasing results. In order to get just
idea of this valuable attachment 1t will be nee
essary to see 1t in operation.
MANUFACTURING MACHINES.-We would
ask attention to our new Button-holo Machine,
which is the only practical Button-hole Machine
claiming public attention. Our manufacturing
mach ines, 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 fur
nished them with the latest and most improved
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 generally with the best quality OF
MACHINE TWIST, which we sell by MEASURE
rather than by WEIGHT. The system of selling
by aueight has given manufacturers the opportu-
nifty of SO heavily weghting silk in the process
of dyelng as not only to greatly injure its quail
ity but also convey wrong impression abou
its quntity. 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 exceedingly
accurate In addition to manufacturing from
the best quality Of raw silk, the evennesS of
thread and beauty of finish of the manufactured
article will not, we think, be soon surpassed.
Each spool of silk manufactured by u.s. Of any
particular size or letter, irrespective of weight,
con tains 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 manufacturers on large scale,
and feel that q large trade can only be retain ed
by us in furnishing superior article at fair
price. II other brands of Twist be offered at less
price than ours, purchasers may rest assured
that 1t is inferior in quality, deficient in guam tty,
or both
We have and shall keep in stock at our Gen.
tral Office, and various agencies, Twist Of all
sizes, and OF the various colors and shades OF
color in use, and which will be sold at New York
prices.
