MACHINE TWISTING have recently
larged 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 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 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 wrong impression about its quantity.
In this respect We mean TO be above suspicion.
The manner in which tbs sizes of silk are
graduate is also a 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 the thread
and beauty Of finish Of the manufactured
article will not, We think, be scon surpassed.
Each spool Of silk ranufa cured by us, of any
particular size or letter. irrespective 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 manufacturers on =
large scale, and feel that large trade can
only be retained by us in furnishing O superior
article at fair price If other brands of
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

| oil sizes and Of the various solors ana shades
of color in use, and which will be sold at
New York prices.
