REASONS WHY
THE REMINGTON FAMILY SEW
ING MACHINES ARE SUPERB

OR TO ALL OTHERS:
lst-Their sIMPLICITY.-The use of
them is very easily acquired, and any
girl of ordinary intelligence is capa-
bic Of keeping them in order.
2nd-lhe CONSTRUCTION Of the Ne
chine is such that it may be run at a
higher rate Of speed than any Shut
tie Machine now in the market In
factories, where the speed has been
registered, over 900 stitches per min
ute have been attained with ease.
3d-Their DURABILITY-Being SO
strong in all their parts, ard fitted
with g,eat mechanical nicely, and be-
ing free from the harsh, jarring move
ments, and friction, so common in in
ferior machines, they will wear long
time withour repair Of any kind.
4th.-The;r ADAPTABILITY-By a
simple change Of the needle and
thread, they will sew the finest CAM
brio or the heaviest leather. All the
various kinds OF boots and shoes,
buck-skin sewing, clothing, caps
stays, shirts, nantes and dress ma
king can be done with equal facility
5th.-The SHUTTLE-Being large, it
viii carry great quantity Of thread
thus saving, in a great measure, the
trouble Of filling the bobbins.
6th.-The means Of getting at the requir-
ed TENSION on the Threads is 80
simple and complete, that an even
back-stich on BOTH SIDES Of the mate
rial (which will not rip or rave!) can
be readily obtained.
7th.-They will SOW with equal facility
Silk, Twist, Linen Thread and COM
mon Spool Cotton.
Sth.-They have no rotary cams, cog
wheels or lever arms to make a noise,
run hard or 10 get out OF order.
