Sewing Machine, the Emira Adceriiser saws
This machine is built on what is called the
engine principle or movement, and in many
particulars differs from all other machines. ii
has new and novel devices for taking up the
slack thread, feeding the goods, and perfect
ing the stitch Nothing can surpass this ma
chine in ekculon, rapidly, or delcacy of OPP
Grafton. It's simplicity is charming, for there
is no intricacy about it at all that "a child ten
years OF age, of ordinary ability, could not
compass. We remarked particularly the ine
workmanship manifested in its build, and the
uniform good quality OF The material used in
its constructon--steel and the case-hardening
process being employed where there is any
danger Of wear"
Before making selection of Machine to
offer as premium for new subscribers, we EN-
ploYed, at our own expense, a skillful and dis
interested mechanic, who is practically iamil-
ar with the working principles of most of the
Sewing Machinis offered to the public, instruct
ing him TO select the one best adapted for fam
lily use. After "A very careful and unbiased
examination Of the leading machines, his de-
csion was given in favor of the Weed, as be-
ing ouaccount of the peculiar arrangement of
the feed, the use of the straight needle, the
tension of the under thread, It's lock-sitch,
and the certainty of its keeping in repair, the
best We know Of for family use. 1t adjusts
itself TO every variety of work, and is easily
understood and managed. This Machine took
the first prize at the Paris Exposition as ii FAM
lily Sewing Machine.
