convey a clear impression of the many kinda
of work of Which our new family machine Is
capable.
THE FOi.p1NG CASES,
Which open with spacious tables TO sustain
the work. and which fold into tables or boxes
to protect the machines, when not in use, from
dust and meddesome fingers are made frois
choice woods, embelished by pleasing design
thus making our new family machinenot only
an ornamental piece of furniture, but in some
of the mqre elaborately finished machines, n
work Of aeal art.
THE ATTACHMENTS

be difficult 10 describe the great variety of
work that this little instrument will do. Tho
reader must net suppose that what we speak
Of is chain stitch operation, which is
sometimes dangerously termed embroidery. If
desired, three eolors of any kind of thread
may be used at any one time and the colors
or bread may DE changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the srools in use and
putting others in theis stead thus as many
or as lew colors may be used ,ss the operator
wishes in the embroidefing Of aLy garment.

Machine which is the emily practical Button
hole Machine claiming public attention. Our

MACHINE THIST.-We hare recently en-
largeI our Silk Mill 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 net only supplying the
users of our machines. but,the trade generally
with sac pes! .Quality of Machine Twist, which
we sell by measure rather than by weight
The system of selling by weight has given
manufacturers the opportunity of heavily
weighing silk in the process of deying as not
only to greatly injure its quality, but alsoto
convey a wrong impression about its quantity.
In this respect We mean to be above suspicion.
The manner in which the sizes of silk are
graduate is also matter Of great Importance.
but we the greatest possible care that
the graduating shall be exceedingly accurate.
Ip Rdaitia9 10 manufacturing from the oeas
quailty Of raw silk the eycnness of the thread
and beauty of finish of the manufactured
article viii not. ,Se think, be soon surpassed.
Each spool of silk manufactured by US, of any
particular size or etter, irrespective of weight,
contains the number Of yards printed thereon.
i-angth. strength. size, quality and finish Of
the bread are to be looked to rather than
weight. We are now SILK manufacturers oI n
large scale anL feel that large trade can
only be retained by uz in furnishing superior
article at fair price. If other brands q
twist be offered at less price than ours, purch-
asers may rest assured that it is inferior in
quality, deficient in quantity, or both.
We have and shall keep in stock at our
Central 0alce, and various agencies, Twist of
all sizes, and of the various colors and shades
of color in use, and wl,iah Will be sold at
New York prices.
