SEWING MACHINES.


ly Machine.-No other family Sewing Machine
has rapidly won favor in the household
The very large sales of that popular machine,
as shown by official returns, far exceed those
OF any other company and this fact or result
has been owing to its real merits-hence It's
great and growing popularity. 1t is simple
in construction, easily understood, easily op
erated-all its parts gliding smoothly and
noiselessly along not liable to get out of or
der, has capacity for great range and varie-
~ of work, sewing all kinds of cloth and with
the numerous attachments for hemming, cord
ing. tucker, quilting, trimming, binding,
brading, etc., and e1broidering of many in.
genious, tasteful and difficult designs, is the
most perfect of all family sewing machines.
Any ene who will take the trouble to exam
inc the merits of The different machines claim
ing attention, can soon discover whether we
| claim too much for ours 1t would avail US
nothing to make the above assertions if we
were not ready TO 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 new family machine Is
| capable.
THE FOLDING 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 meddlesome fingers are made frol
choice woods, embelished BY pleasing designs
| thus making our new family machine not only
an ornamental piece of furniture, but in some
of the more deliberately finished machines,
| work Of real art.
THE ATTACHMENTS
| Of cur new family machine, above rcferro
| 10, are not only numerous, but highly .usefu
for the purposes for which they were indebt,
ed. They need only a trial 10 shcw their
great value. Among the most recent of the
attachments is the
| EMBROIDERER.
| OF the different attachments of our new
| family machine which have secured the alten-
ton and approval Of our customers that for
embroideriEg, like The Hammer, is one of the
| few instruments which will most please and
satisfy The observer OF It's real value. Ii is SO
simple in structure, that any one vino can
sew Unr machine can use it, and without
instruction. It may be attached to OF detaeh-
ed from the machine in an instant. Without
a lengthy description and even then, it would
! be difficult to describe the great variety Of
work that this little instrument will do. The
render must not suppose that what we speak
| Of is mere chain stitch operation which is
sometimes humorously termed embroidery. If
desired, three -coors Of auy kind of thread
may be used at any one time, and the coiors
or thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and
putting others in their stead thus as many
or colors may be used as the operator
wishes, in the embroidering of aLy garment.
A great variety of results produced by the
manner III which the tensions are regulated.
Different results may be produced while the
| machine is in motion by simply changing the
| tensions. Results vary according to the length
Of stitches, kinds, coors and tensions of the
threads, as well as size of the needle used
The Enbroiderer will use any kind CT thread.
The uss 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 ses it in operation.
MANUFACTURING MACHINES. - We
would ask attention. TO our new Button hole
Machine which is the only practical Button
hole Machine claiming public attention. Our
manufacturing machines, for other purposes,
are too well known to need comment.
MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
larged our Silk Mill in Newark, n. j., and
| furnished them with tie 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 her 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 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 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 soon surpassed.
Each spool ofslk 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-
ascrs 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 coors and shades
of color in use, and which will be sold at
New York prices.
