yNnE SINGER SEWING MACHINES

The Singer Manufacturing Co.'S New Fam
ly Machine. No other family Sewing Machine
has so rapidly won favor in the househ ola
The very large sales Of that popular machine,
as shown by official returns, far exceed those
of any other company and this fast oT results
has been owing 10 its real nsrits-henca ITS
great and growing popularity. 1t is simple
in construction, easily understood, easily OPP
erated-an its parts gliding smoothly and
noiselessly along--not liable to get ont Of eE-
der, has capacity for great range and varie@
ty of work. sewing all kinds of cloth ard With
the numerous attachments for hemmiHg, cora-
ing, tucker, quilting, trimming, bindingi
braiding etc., and embroidering of many in
genous, tasteful and 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 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 FOLn1NG 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, embellished by pleasis designs
thus making our new family machine not only
an ornamental piece of furniture, but in some
Of the more elaborately finished machines, a
work of real art a...
THE ATTACHMENTS
OF our new family machine, above rcferro
10, are not only numerous, but highly usefu
for the pu, poses fvr which they were indebt,
ed. They need only trial 10 show their
great value. Among the most recent of the
| attachments is the
-.s EMBROIDERER.
OF the different attachments of our new
family machine which have secured the atten-
ton and approval of our customers that for
embroidering, like the Hemmcr 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 who can
sew cur machine can use it, and without
instruction. 1t may be attached 10 or detaeh-
! ed from the machine in an instant. Without
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. 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 spools in use and
putting others in their stead; thus as many
or as lew colors may be used as the operator
wishes, in he 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 the
| threads, as well as size Of the needle used
The Enbroiderer will use any kind CT thread.
The use of zephyr worsted for certain purpo-
| SEES gives very pleasing results. In order to
&c. just idea Of this valuable attachment j.
will be necessary to see 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-
largcd our Silk Mill in Newark, N. j., and
furnished Them 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 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 a 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 eyenness 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 a 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, and which will be sold at
New York prices.
