THE AMERICAN SEWING MACHINE MANI
FlCTIRIyG ceTpANY.

The relief of thousands of women
who had to work night and day, to
earn money enough to buy bread for
their children has been so great, by
the introduction of sewing machines,
that it is a pleasure to a newspaper
man that he is enabled to notice the
growth and progress of SO valuable an
invention as this. Since the first in
PRODUCTION of this now indispensable
article of labor saving machinery,
there have been many improvements
upon the original, until now, in place
of nerve destroying Tattle-box, we
have the quiet. easily working self
adjusting machine that is produced by
the American Sewing Machine Com
pany. The factory where some 200
hands are necessarily at work pro-
ducing 20, 900 machines per annum, is
located at Philadelphia, PENNSYLVANIA.
With its first presentation to public
favor, the American became popular,
and that popularity has been rapidly
increasing, until il has attained very
prominent position even among ma
chimes of much older date.
Probably one of the most impor-
tant of its merits-or rather a sum-
ming up of them all is contained in
the statement that the manufacturers
positirety guarantee satisfaction in
every instance. There are many 9TH
er advantages of which we have only
space TO note very few. The Amer
lean has but few working parts, is
simple and always ready to work; it
is one of the simplest machines to
| thread, there being no holes to thread
either above or in the shuttle, which
is ready to work as soon as the bobbin
accidentally be turned backward, no
harm is done, no needles broken; it
runs lightly and smoothly requiring
the slightest possible outlay of
strength, working with great speed on
any material, and can even be used by
persons in delicate health, without
| injury. The shuttle and bobbin can
| be taken out and replaced with great
facility in one-fourth the time usually
necessary with other Machines. The
feed can be quickly raised or lowered
| to adapt it to thick or thin material
also the length of stitch can be regu.

is in motion. The tensions are easily,
evenly and perfectly adjusted, the
