much for ours 1t would avail nothing TO
make the above assertions if we were not ready
TO prove them, and all we ask is trial. for OBJ
servation alo1te can justly convey clear impress
sion of the maht..44ipds of work of which QUA
NEW FAMILY MAcHlsE is capable.
THE FOLDING CASES,
Which open with spacious tables to sustain tho
work, and which fold into tables or boxes to pro-
tect the machines, when not in use from dust and
meddlesome fingers, afe made from choice woods,
embellished by pleasing designs, thus Makir
our new family machine not only an ornamental
piece of furniture, but in some Of the more eab-
orately finished machines work Of real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS.
Of our new family machine, abovefsrefcrred to.
ere not only numerous, but highly useful for the
purposes tsncr which they were intended. They
need only a trial sc SLOW their great valqe.-
Among the most recent Of the attachments Is ,he
EMBRAIDERER.
Of the different attacha;eYts Of our new family
machine which have secuged the. attention and
approval of our customers that for emPrQider-
ing, like the Hemmer, is Of. the few. instrA-
ments which will most please and satisfy the Oh
server of its real value. 1t is so simple in stru9-
ture, that any one who can sew on our machine,
can use it, and without instruction. It may be-
attached to detached from the machine in "a
instant. Without lengthy description, and
even then, it would be difficult to describe the
great variety of work that this little instruments
will do. The reader must not suppose that what
we speak Of is q mere chain stitch operation,
which is sometimes dangerously termed embrod-
cry. If desired, three cplofs of tiny kind eff
thread may be used at any one time, and the col
ors of thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and PIT
ting others in their stead; thus as many
few colors may be used as the OPERATOR wishes,
in the embroideripg Of any garncnt great
variety of results are produced by the manner in
suits may be produced while the machine is in
motion by simply changing the tensions. Results
vary according to the length Of stitches, kinda,
coors and of the threads, as wei. sizes
of the needles used. The Emhroiderer will use
any kind of thread The use of zepher wcrsted
for certain purposes gives very pleasant results.
In order to get just idea this valuable attach
ment it will be necessary to see it in operation.
MANUFACTURING MACHlNES.-We would
ask attention to ppr new Butt on hole Machine,
which is the only practical Button hole Machine
claiming public attention. Our manufacturing
machines, fol other purposes, are too we'll known
to need comment.
MACHINE TWIsT.-Wa have recently en-
laFged our Silk Mills in Newark, N. j., and furn-
ished them with the latest and most approved ma
chinery, 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 Ma
CHINE TWIST, which sell by MEASURE rather
enan by WEIGHT. The system of selling by freight
has given manufacturers the opportunity of 50
heavily weighing silk in the PROCESS of dycing
as not only to greatly ipure its Quality but als9
convey wrppg Impression about its quantity.
In this respect we meaA to be abeye suspicion
The manner in which the sizes Of silks are grad
uated is also matter of great Importance, but
we use the greatest possible care that the gradv.
ating shall be exceedingly accurate. In addition
to manufacturing from thebest 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 silk menpfac-
tured by us, of of any particular size or letter.
respective Of weight, contains 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 manu-
facurers ON large scale, and feel that large.
trade can only be retained by us in furnishing q
superior article at 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
We have and shall keep in stock at our Central
Office, and various agencies, Twist of all sizes, the
of the various colors and shades of color in use,
and which will be sold at New York prices
