| Speaking of the Weed Family favor tie
Sewing Machine, the Elmira AdCerfiser says !:
! ''This machine is built on what is called the
engine principle or movement, and in many
particulars differs from all other machines. 1t
has new and novel devices for taking up the
slack bread, feeding the goods, and perfect
ing the stitch. Nothing can surpass this ma
chine in execution, rapidly, or delicacy of OPP
Grafton. Its simplicity is charming, for there
is no intricacy about it at all that child ten
years of age, of ordinary ability, could not
compass. We remarked particularly the fine
workmanship manifested in its build, and the
uniform good quality of the material used in
its construction-steel and the case-hardening
process being employed where there is any
danger of wear"
Before making a selection of Machine to
offer as a premium for new subscribers, we en-
ployed, at our own expense, skillful and dis
interested mechanic, who is practically fnmii-
ar with the working principles Of most of the
Sewing Machines offered to the public, instruct
ing him 10 select the one best adapted for fam
lily use. After IA very careful and unbiased
examination of the leading machines, his de-
csion was given in favor of the " eed, as be-
ing, on account of the peculiar arrangement of
the feed, the use of he straight needle, the
tension of the under thread, its lock-stiich,
and the certainty OF its keeping in repair, the
best we know of for family use. IL adjusts
itself TO every variety Of work, aud is easily
understood and managed. This Machine took
the first prize at the Paris Exposition as FAM
lily Sewing Machine
