The Singer Mahufacp, 20 new FaMi
| : Machine.-No other fanny Sewing Machine
has so rapidly ron favor in the household
The very large sales Of that popular maonlas,
as shown by official retr;~ns, far exceed those
of any other company ard this fact or respt
has been owing to lis real merits-hene6 iss
great and growing popula rity. Ii is simple
in construction, easily understood, easily eP
erated-all it's parts gliding smoothly and
noiselessly alopg-not liable TO get ont Of or
der, has capacity for great range and yaris-
ty of work, sewing all kinds of cloth and With
the numerous attachments for hemming, cord
ing, tucker, quilting, trimming, binding,
braiding ETC., and embroideripg Of many iB--
genious, tasteful and difficult designs, is the
most perfect of all family sewing machines
Any ons who will take the trouble to exam
inc the merits Of the different machines claim
ing attention, can soon discover whsther We
claim too much for ours. 1t would avail US
nothing to make the above assertions if We
were not ready 10 prove them, and all we ask
! is trial, for observation alone can justly
convey clear impression of the many kinds
| of work Of which our Jew family machine ia
capable.
THE FOLDING CASES,
| Which open with spacious tables to sus.aia
the work, and which fold into tables or boxes
| to protect the machines, when not in use from
dust and meadlesome fingers are made froe
choice woods, erabellished By pleasing designs
| thus making our neH family machine not only
an ornamental piece of furniture, but in some
of the more elaborately finished machines,
work CT real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS
| OF our new family machine, sbov rcferrs
TO, are not only numerous, but highly ussfu
for the purposes for which they were indsbt~
ed. They need only trial TO shov their
great value. Among the most reeent Of the
attachments is the
EMBROIDERED
Of the di7e=sn. attachments Of our n.w
family machine which have secured ths stten-
| lion and approval Of cur customers that fer
embroidering like he Fem1acr, is oge Of the
few instruments which will most please and
satisfy the observer Of its real value. II is SO
simple in structure, that any one uhe can
| seq on our machine can use il, snd without
instruction. Il may be attached 10 OF dstaeh-
ed fto;a the machine il su instant. Without
lengthy description, and even lheu, it would
be difficult 70 describe the great variety of
work that this little instrument will do. The
| reader must not suppose that what We speak
Of is mere chain stitch operation, which is
| sometimes hunogously termed embroidery. If
! desired, three colors OF auy kind Of thread
may be used 81 any one time, and tbs colors
| o. EAre&d may De changed at the will OF the
operator, by removing the spo0ls il uss and
putting others in their stead thus IS many
or IS lev coors may be used as The operator
wishes, in the embroiderirg of aLy garment
4 great variety Of results are produced by the
| manner in which tho tensions srs regulated.
| Different results may be produced while the
machine is ii motoa by simply changing tbs
| tensions. Results vary according to the length
Of stitches, kinds, colors ard tensions Of the
threads, as wei! SO size Of the needle used
The EmbCoiderer Will use any kind CT thread.
The uso Of zephyr worsted for certain purpo-
ses gives very pleasing results. IN order to
get just idea OF this valuable attachment it
will be necessary to sec it in operation.
! MANUFACTURING, MACHINES. - We
wonld ask attention. 10 our new Button hole
Machira which IS the enly practical Button
| hole Machine claiming public attention. Our
manufacturing machines, for other purposes.
are too welt known to need comment.
| MACHINE TWISTING havs recently ea-
iarged our silk Mill ia Newark, N. j.. and
furnished thern with the latest and most in-
proved machinery, which is being operated
by highly skilled labor. We know aud fesl
the Importance Of rot only supplying the
users of cur 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 dsying as not
only to greatly injure its quality, but also to
| convey 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 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 soon surpassed.
Each spool of silk manufactured 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 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
Central Office, and various agencies, Twist of
all sizes, and Of the various colors and shades
of color in use, aud which will be sold at
New York prices.
