Fifteen years ago the gentlemen composing TIE
firm Of johnson, Clark d Go. foresaw the i'm
Portant position sewing machines must eVentu-
ally occupy and determined on commencing
their manufacture. From that time TO the pres
ent they have been busily engaged in providing
for the supply of their constantly Increasing
sales and in making such improvements and
notifications as time and experience could
suggest;
The Home Shuttle Sewing Machine has
achieved an honorable name, and met with an
unprecedented sale in every part Of the world,
which facts indicate most conclusively that IL
merits must have exceeded those Of its competi-
tors. They combine all the essential qualities Of
superior in strength and beauty Of parts, contain
less number Of working parts, and are capable
Of doing wiler range OF work than other ma
chimes. Every part is made adjustable, detach-
able and interchangeable, 30 that in case OF Acci-
dent anew part can be supplied from stock which
will be sure to 1T in its proper place In their
manufacture only the very best materials are
used, the wearing parts are hardened, and the
mechanism has been constructed with the special
view Of producing an easy running, durable and
almost noiseless running machine, capable Of
doingsepuAlly well with coarse or fine thread,
cotton, silk or linen, and from the lightest fab
RIGS TO heavy beaver cloths and leather. Such
confidence Is felt in their intrinsic merits that
every machine IL warranted for five years.
With such . machine to exhibit Il Is no won

70 an unusual outlay TO attract the attention Of
the multitude Of visitors at the Exposition. Tho
location is a very favorable one in the Main Ex-
hibition Hall.
