The American Button-Hole, OuerSedn,ir,g and
Sewing Machine Combined.-This is new in
yention which is Just working its way into
public favor, and is destined without doubt, to
take front rank among the first-class Family
Sewing Machines, combining, as it does, in one
machine, the ability to do all the various kinds
of plain and fancy sewing done on any first
class machine, and also the working OF button,
holes and overseaming. Neat in design, well
made, of good material, and requiring but a
few moments to change from Button-Ho
Machine to plain Sewing Machine, and your
Committee deem it well worthy OF the hlghest
premium in the gift Of this Association, and
award Gold Medal.

H., the American Button-Hole, Overseamlng
and Sewing Machine Combined, received q
Gold Medal as perfect Machine. Read report
of Committed:
This machine, while it possesses all the quail
ifcations of other first-class Shuttle Family
Sewing Machines, has combined the over
scanning and Button Hole making, which must
make it stand foremost among Family Sewing
Machines, not only for it. combination, but
for its simplicity, and rapidity with which it
can be changed from one kind Of work to an an,
other. The committee were much pleased with
the fine finish, workmanship, and rapidity
with which this pioneer of a machine did its
work, and the committee take great pleasure
in awarding to it the highest premium, as a
perfect Family Sewing Machine, a Gold Medal.
