TINE SINGER SEWING MACHINES.

|, NachiIe.-No other family Sewing Machine
has so rapidly wen 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 merlts-hence ne
great and growing popularity. 1t is simple
in con struction, easily understood, easily op
erated-all its parts gliding smoothly aud
noiselessly along-not liable to get 6tif OF. or
der. has capacity for great range and yarle-
Nv of work. sewing AL kinds of cloth and with
the numerous att achments for hemmlng, cord
ing, tucker, quill ing, trimming, binding,
braiding. etc. au0 e.. obroidering of many in
qenious tasteful ano difficult designs, is the
most perfect of all family sewing machines
Any one who will take the trouble to exam
inc the merits of the different machines esalrH~
ing attention, can soon discover Sne'%es We
claim too much for ours. 1t wocld asaft as
nothing to make the above ssser,io.>s Ii we
were not ready TO prove them, and all he SSH
is a trial, for observation alone can jns.-.T
convey d 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 meddesome fingers are made froIe
choice woods, embellished 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 our new family machine, above referro
10, are not only numerous, but highly usefu
for the purposes for which they were indebt>
ed. They need only trial 10 shew their
great value. Among the most recent Of the
attachments is the
EMBROIDERER.
Of the different attach GENTS of our new
family machine which have secured tie atten-
ton and approval of customers that fer
embroidering, like the Hemmer, is one of the
few Instruments which will most please and
satisfy the observer of its real value. 1t is SO
simple in structure, that any one whs can
Sc on cur machine can use it, and without
instruction. II may be attached 20 or 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
| reader must not suppose that what we speak
| of is mere chain stitch operation, which is
sometimes humorously termed embroidery. II
desired, three colors of auy kind of thread
or thread may be changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the spools in use and
putting others in their stead; thus rs many
| or colors may be used as the operator
wishes, in the embroidering of ally garment.
| great variety of results are produced BY the
| manner in 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, colors ard tensions Of tho
threads, as well as size of the needle used
The Embroiderer will use any kind CT thread.
The use of zephyr worsted for certain purpo-
ses gives very pleasing results. In order te
get Just idea Of this valuable attachment it
will be necessary to see it i'll operation.
MANUFACTURING MACHINES. - We
would ask attention to our new Button-hols
Machine which is the emily 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-
largcd our Silk Mill in Newark, N. j., and
furnished them with the latest and most ina
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 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 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 a
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, pureh-
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, and which will be sold at
New York prices.
