TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

TN PRESENTING TO YOUR NOTICE, FOR
Il the fiji time in extended way, the +. +.
FAMILY FAVORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing nachinists, and by
them pronounced
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867;
BECAUSE, it took tho first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore tMaryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class loch-stitch will do;
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do. We say this without disparagement to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and a great part OF
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give a womans reason,
BECAUSE, it is just a little darling and SO
easy to learn.
Price the same as any other ftrst-class machine.
Sold on the instalment plan, if desired.
Machines sent on trial and instruction given
free
A history of the sewiug-nlachine and an ac-
count of the great four weeks contest at Baiti-

much so, that it almost always takes several days
