is the most perfect of all family sewing achnes.
Any who viii take the trouble TO examine the
merits of the different machines claiming atten-
ton, can soon discover whether. We claim too
| much for ours. It would avail nothing 10
make the above assertions if VIC were not ready
to prove them, and all we ask is trial for OBJ
servation alone justly convcysa clear impress
sion of the many. kinds of work Of which Out
NEW FAMILY MACHINE is capable. IL
THE FOLDING CASES,
Which open with spacious tables to sustain tho
work, and which fold into talles or boxes to pro-
tect the machines, when not in USE from dust and
meddesome fingers, are made from choice woods,
embellshed by pleasing designs, thus making
cur new family machine not only an ornamental
piece of furniture, but in some of the more elab
oratcly 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 MOTT recent of the attachments is tho
EMBROIDERER.
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 fnstru-
mens which will NEST please and satisfy the eh-
server of its reel value 1t is so simple in strue
ture that any one vino can sew on our machine
can use it, and without instruction. Il may; be
attached to or detached from the machine in
instant. Without lengthy description, and
even then, it would BE difficult to describe tie
great variety of work that this little instrument
will do. The reader must not suppose that what
we speak of is chain stitch operation,
which is sometimes humorousiy termed embroid-
cry. If desired, three colors of any kind Of
thread may be used at any one time, and the col
ors of thread may be changed at the will of tho
operator, by removing the spools in use and pat
ting others in their stead. thus as many or as
few colors may be used as the operator wishes,
in the embroidering of any garment. great
variety of results are produced by the manner in
which the tensions 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,
colcrs and tensions of the threads as well as sizes
of the needles used. The Embroderefzwill use
any kind of thread. The use Of zephcr worsted
for certain purposes gives very pleasant results
In order to get just idca ofthis valuable attach
meGt it will be necessary to sec 1t IN operation.
