whichever way it ran it ran like top. ooh!
isn't that NICE says one lady. "How still it
runs says another. "Do look at this beautiful
work, ma, says a pretty miss as she picked up
some wonderful stitching the machine had
just turned off. "Well, declare" exclaimed
a middle-aged lady with her face all aglow with
wonderment, "who ever before saw sewing

'How long have they been in use?" says a
third. "Just long enough to test their merit,
ladies'" wherever they have been introduced
they have no further use for any other ma
chine" They are the cheapest, most simple,
by all odds of any machine in the world to-day.
