EMBROIDERED.

OF the different attachments of our new
family machine which have secured the atten-
ton and approval Of cur customers that for
embroideriug, like the Hcmmer, is one of the
few Instruments which will most please and
satisfy The observer of It's real value. 1t is Sc
simple in structure, that any one who can
sew on cur machine can use it, and without
instruction. Ii may be attached to or detaeh-
eG from the machine in an instant. Without
II lengthy description, and even then, it would
be difficult to describe the great. variety of
work that lis 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. If
desired, three colors Of auy kind of thread
may be used at any one time, and the colors
or thread may De changed at the will of the
operator, by removing the sTools in use and
putting others in their stead; thus as many
or as lew 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 he produced VIII the
machine is in motion by simply changing the
tensions. Results vary according to the length
of stitches, kinds, colors ard tensions of the
threads. as we'll as size Of the needle used

SEES gives very pleasing results. In order to

MANUFACIURlNG MACHINES. - We
would ask attention. to our new Button hole
Machine which is the only practical Button
hole Machine claiming public attention. Cur
manufacturing machines, for other purposes,
are too well known o need comment.
MACHINE TWISTING have recently en-
IornuJ o,,r Sill Mil in %ayvark \ I and
furnished theiu 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 Maehir Twist, which
we sell by measure raj her III L by weight.
The system of selling by weight has given
manufacturers tae 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 the sizes Of silk are
graduate / is also a matter Of great Importance.
but we use the greatest possible care that
the gradr ting 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 socn surpassed.
Each spool of silk manufactured by us, of any
particular size or letter. irrespective of weight,
contains The number Of yards printed thereof.
Length, strength, size, quality and finish Of
the thread are to be looked to rather than
weight. We arc now silk manufacturers on i
large scale. and feel that large trade can
only be retained by us in furnishing superior
articleat a 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 III 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 viii be sold at
New York prices.
