acquainted with them, and is prepared to recon-
mend the HOWE above ALL OTHERS as best

If any Importance attaches to any awards made
at late years. they are those of the Exposition
Universelle at Paris 1867 where all the princi-
pal Sewing Machines of the world were in COM
petition, and were thoroughly tested. The pri-
yes awarded to the Howe Company and asoao IN
their possession, were the Great Imperial Prize
THE GRAND CROSS OF THE LEGION OF
HON OR-the highest prize IN the gift Of the Ju-
ry--a Gold Medal and Silver Medal.
This unequaled machine is adapted to every
variety of sewing from the finest muslins to the
heaviest cloths, without changing thread. ~
An agent in StauntOn tried to prevent people
from buying the Howe by saying the shuttle
wears out" as the only fault he could find with
it; but we warrant it to run 10 hours per day for
three years, and if the shuttle out IN less
time, we will furnish a new one gratis
A good operator will go with each machine
and full instruction given Machines sold will
also be kept in repair one gear free of charge.
