market, and publishes large number
OF sales. Some of the machines offered
for sale, and most largely pulled, have

have vanishcs, when they are compared
with later and improved machines.

WINGED has the most good qualities.
IIhc one you want is the one which
will save you time labor and voxation.
See that il possesses the following points,
(which are essential to first-class sew
ing machine:
LIST. ABILITY TO DO PERFECTLY ALL
| KINDS OF WORK
demanded of II sewing machine, with
out requiring changes of adjustment
You will find that the Royal st. John
answers this demand.
Its range Of work is from the finest
lace or cambria, to the heaviest cloth or
leather, without nice adjustments of
tentions, which are practically SELF
Tgwiotiag.
It's stitch is firm, round, and elastic;
alike on both sides of the goods; and
locked in the center.
end. EASE or MANAGEMENT.
A sewing machine should he so easily
managed that child Gun operate it.
On this point the Royal st. John has no
equal, for the following reasons:
1t is the only machine made which
runs either J0rpdH or bdckward with.
out stopping the machine, without
changing the direction in which the
goods are fed through, without loss or
change of stitch. BY means of this, a
child or inexperienced operator Is not
in danger of breaking thread or ncadle
by starting the machine the mroag aoay,
and the experienced operator can safe.
ly start the machine with the foot, per
uniting free Use of the hands in manag-
ing the work. This desirable feature is
secured not by compllcating the ma
chine, but by simplifying; n complicat-
cd machine cannot run both ways.
1t has self setting needle; il can
not he set wrong side out; il cannot be
set at wrong angle; il cannot unless
williully DO set ut wrong height.
III has a Innl on hath Silno ~ tl,n
needle and ample room under the arm,
so that the work can be fed through on
either side of the needle, ut convenience
OF the operator.
1t has II strong beautifully shaped
shuttle, easily threaded having no holes
to thread through; II perfect and rclia-
bic tension, which can be altered with
out disturbing the work, or removing
the shuttle, and II large bobbin holding
an extra amount of thread.
1t winds the bObbin without running
the machine, 80 that it is unnecessary
to remove the work or unthrcad the
needle. .
Bird. LGHTNEss OR RUNNING AND EASE
OF MOVEMENT.
There are numerous machines which |
will, to II greater or less degree, do salts.
factory work; but they are either hard
running from the start, or soon become
so on account of the wear resulting
from their irregular movements. The
ROYAL ST. JOHN is the only Ma
chine made whose movements arc ell
tircly regular and positive.
IfI haG an ,lni,, r.,i,r,,nl ,,NNt.a,, /
both needle and shuttle, and so does
not become hard running from irrcgu-
lar wear, but the longer it wears the
and easier will be its motion.
1T has fewer dead ccnters to over
come than any other machine, and con-
runs with less jar, and when
once in motion is more easily kept in
motion.
1T Is so made and pinned together
that ii cannot be put out Of adjustment,
except by violence.
Again, machine may be light run
ming. but from an improperly construct
ed trcadlc movement, may be tiresomc
and fatiguing to operate. We boldly
claim for the ROYAL ST. JOHN, that
from the well calculated arrangement
of its treadic movement, il can be OPP
Grated longer with less fatigue to the OPP
orator than any machine made.
4th. SIMPLICITY AND DURABILITY OF
CONSTRUCTION.
So that the machine will not he con.
stantly getting out of order, Or readily
worn out. The Royal st. John possess
cs these points pre-eminently.
1t has the fcwest number of parts.
The parts are of simple and regular
forms, made of the best steel and iron.
All of the wearing points are hardened
and provided with means for effective
ly taking up all wear.
1t has Il perfectly balanced motion,
by which it is possible TO run it either
for1cniM or Jackacard, and consequently
it will not wear so Rapidly rs machine
which has IN irregular motion, and will
only sew in orc direction.
1t has no yielding joints; no cams or
cogs; no motion produced by springs.
1t has fewer bearings and less friction
than any machine made, and there can
not be wear where there is no friction.
OtIl. tONNENlisNtE'
In addition to good and easy running
you want one fitted up con-
veniently for your work. This is Of
fercd in full measure in the Royal st.
John.
1t furnishes with place to keep the
cover of machine, and make it useful rs
Il work box, by attaching it to the end
of the table while using the machine.
II is provided with graduated yard
measure on the front edge of table, so
that you can measure your work with
out moving from the machine.
II has convenient foot rest, on tho
brace above the trcadlc, ailording you
comfortable change of position while
preparing work for the machine.
In conclusion if you will examine every
machine on the market, subjecting it to
the tests given above, you will be forced
to the conclusion that the
ROYAL ST. JOHN
Possesses the most points of excellence.
Possess the most new and valuable i'm
prOvcmcnis.
Is the perfection of Sewing Machines.
IS TIE MACHINERY Won WANT.
