A POPULAR EMPoRIUM-No. 80 Canal
Street-This great centennial year is the
witness of many scientific and mechanical
inventions by Americans, of which they
may justly be proud. Among the latter the
sewing machine takes prominent place,
and is. perhaps, the most universally used.
There is hardly household in the land
that does not possess one of these gifts to
women, of one patent or another, and from
thousands of workshops comes the click
click, click of these wonderful pieces of
mechanism. After years Of experiment and
improvement, cost, labor and thought, the
Singer Sewing Machine Company have sue
ceeded in producing an implement of in
dustry that is conceded to be the most per
feet of its kind. 1t is hard to conceive how
any further improvement. could be made.
The stitch is the same on both sides, and
could not be more thorough. hemming,
tscking, gathering, telling, braiding, en-
bordering, everything, in fact, that ever
was done by hand skill, this machine accom-
plishes in q shorter time than it would take
to thread the needles to complete the same
amount of work by the old laborious hand
method. Mr.. S. E. Rumble ia the agent in
this city, and his name is sufficient guar
antee Of the article he offers for sale, even
if the machines had no other. For great
number of years Mr.. Rumble has been
known and esteemed in commercial circles
as a gentleman of the strictest integrity
and the most commendatory business en-
terprise. When, therefore, he was an
nounced as being agent also for Butterick's
paper patterns, the public was at once salts
fed that they were all in their kind that
WAS necessary or desirable, and the demand
for them was at once great. 1t is useless to
say word in favor of these correctly
named "perfect paterns,' for their correct
ness, utility and usefulness is already es-
tablished. Few ladies dread or dislike
sewing; it is rather recreation to many in
these days of improved family sewing ma
chimes, but there is not one ont of every
fifty who does not shrink from the ordeal
of cutting and fitting outside garments.
Butterick's patterns here come to the
rescue, as thousands of ladies in this
city alone can testify. All that is nee
essary is to give the bust measure. or the
age, if for children, and model for any
style that is fashionable may at once be &C.
cured that is sure to fit we'll if in elicitly
followed. There is no mistake ever made
in the patterns which are furnished; they
are always correct. The designs given for
boys and cbildren's suits are particularly
simple. appropriate and recherche, while
those for underclothing of all kinds are in
valuable. Every lady who wishes to COM
bine economy should use these prototypes
of elegance, and should never fail to get
Butterich's Fashion De'ineator, published
monthly, and their Fashion Bulletin, which
is issued at the commencement Of the
spring, summer, fall and winter seasons
Each of these contain choice reading mat
ter, articles on dress and dress goods, and
hints about dress making that are invalu-
able, and every Bulletin gives full views
and direction respecting the fashions for
the season for which it is published, and
these, it should be remembered, are dis
tributed free. In word, Butterich's Maya
zine, Fashion Bulletins and paper patterns
supply q want long felt, and real blessing
to ladies.
